- High Court
Given the appellant's advanced age, serious health issues, the suitability of his home and supervision, and authoritative precedent that home detention can sufficiently signal denunciation and deterrence, the High Court allowed the appeal, substituted nine months' home detention for the 19 months' imprisonment, imposed specified supervision and treatment conditions, and ordered the appellant remain on the Child Sex Offender Register under s 9 of the 2016 Act.
