- Court of Appeal
The Court held the District Court Judge did not err: the culpability factors were properly assessed, treating the offending globally with a 12-year starting point for sexual offending and blackmail (adjusted to 13 years with discrete uplifts) was within R v AM ranges, and the final 13-year sentence was not manifestly excessive; appeal dismissed.
