PERRIN v R [2023] NZCA 94

- Court of Appeal
The presumption of imprisonment in s 128B was not displaced: the offender's youth and good character were insufficient to outweigh the principal aggravating features (the victim's young age and severe, enduring harm) and the appellant's continued denial; the 22 month imprisonment sentence was appropriate and not manifestly excessive, so the appeal is dismissed.
