The appeal was dismissed because the District Court correctly found the statutory requirements for an ESO were met: the appellant demonstrated a pervasive pattern of serious sexual offending, denied responsibility and lacked insight, and uncontradicted expert evidence established a high risk of future relevant sexual offending; given those findings and the absence of adequate alternative supervisory measures, a 10‑year ESO was appropriate and proportionate.
