- High Court
The Court adopted a historic starting point of four years' imprisonment reflecting sentencing patterns for indecent assaults in the period of offending, elevated by serious aggravating features (breach of trust as father, skin-on-skin contact, prolonged and repeated offending, premeditation and concealment), then applied a global discount of nine months for age, health and prior good character, resulting in an effective total sentence of three years and three months' imprisonment to be served concurrently on all counts.
