- Court of Appeal
The conviction was upheld because the appellant's admission was properly characterised as propensity evidence with probative value and the jury were given clear directions to consider each charge separately; adding a new charge during that trial was not practicable; the sentencing judge's factual findings about the frequency of offending were open on the evidence and the sentence was not manifestly excessive.
