    The High Court upheld the trial judge's exercise of discretion and the concurrent 15‑year imprisonment terms with mandatory two strokes whipping per relevant count because the sentencing judge properly weighed aggravating factors (abuse of trust, harm to child, public interest) and mitigation and the resulting sentence was not manifestly excessive or wrong in law.
