- High Court
Applying R v Hughes the Court found the offending to be of moderate gravity given the victim's youth and vulnerability, the appellant demonstrated limited insight and ongoing sexual interest in young persons, and the direct and indirect consequences of conviction did not outweigh the public protection concerns and gravity of the offence; accordingly the refusal of a discharge and imposition of 12 months' intensive supervision was upheld.
