    Court
    High Court

    Adopted a determinate sentence of six years five months imprisonment with a minimum term of 60%, and declined preventive detention because, despite a high risk profile, there was no established pattern of prior sexual offending, the offender had not yet undergone targeted sexual-offending treatment, and a lengthy determinate sentence combined with prospective extended supervision provided adequate community protection.
