The Court found the kidnapping was less culpable than comparator Muavae but more culpable than Harrison and set a three and a half year starting point for kidnapping, uplifted 18 months for the related sexual offending, applied a 10% guilty plea discount, resulting in a substituted global sentence of four years and six months' imprisonment and quashed the MPI because parole assessment of release and rehabilitation is properly for the Parole Board.
