On the evidence the statutory conditions for an ESO were satisfied, including that the respondent met the s107IAA(2) threshold of 'very high risk' (severe disturbance in behavioural functioning, limited self-regulation, absence of sufficient understanding/concern for victims); the minimum period required for community safety was three years as conceded by the applicant's expert and accepted by the Court; accordingly a three-year ESO was ordered starting 11 August 2023.
