The court held that offences under section 372A(1) involving exploitation of prostitutes are sexual/trafficking related and fall within exceptions to section 172D(1)(c)(ii); therefore the guilty plea did not entitle the appellant to the statutory reduction. The Session Court applied correct sentencing principles and the High Court will not interfere absent manifest error. Consequently conviction and concurrent nine‑year sentences were affirmed.
