- High Court
Applying the D v Police two-stage framework, the Court was satisfied the appellant posed a real or genuine risk to the sexual safety of children given contact offending with a 15 year old, a high-risk written assessment and the appellant's refusal to accept responsibility or engage in treatment; the risk was of sufficient gravity that the requirements and monitoring under the Act (including reporting obligations and eight year registration) were proportionate, therefore the registration order was justified and the appeal was dismissed.
