    The court held that six years' imprisonment for each count was appropriate given the seriousness of repeated physical sexual assaults on an 11-year-old victim and the accused's position as stepfather, and that because each offence occurred on different dates/times/places/manner they constituted four distinct offences so the sentences were properly ordered to run consecutively, resulting in a total effective sentence of 24 years which the court upheld.

    Six-year sentences for each count were appropriate and not excessive given guilty pleas, the seriousness of repeated sexual assaults on an 11-year-old by a stepfather, and sentencing principles; because offences occurred on different dates/times/places they constitute distinct offences and the consecutive execution order is correct under s282(d) CPC.
