The High Court held the guilty plea was voluntary and valid, the medical preliminary report and admitted facts sufficiently supported conviction, absence of a victim impact statement or full medical report did not vitiate the plea, and the prosecution's cross-appeal was allowed to increase the custodial sentence from 18 to 20 years given the gravity and repeated sexual exploitation of a young child; the appellant's challenge to conviction and sentence was dismissed otherwise.
