The Sessions Court correctly applied established sentencing principles, balancing offender's youth and guilty plea against the seriousness of multiple sexual assaults on a 15‑year‑old; the resulting sentence of five years' imprisonment, one stroke of the cane, counselling during imprisonment and two years' police supervision was not erroneous in principle and is upheld; both the prosecution's appeal and the accused's cross‑appeal are dismissed.
