    The Court of Appeal found no error in principle or misappreciation of facts by the trial and high courts; given the young age of the victim, the serious nature of the sexual violence and relevant authorities and sentencing trends, the 18‑year imprisonment and 10 strokes sentence was appropriate and should be upheld.
