- Court of Appeal
No reluctant/regretted consent direction was required on these facts given the judge's consent direction and the evidence; the lies direction for the complainant was inadvisable but did not cause a miscarriage; inconsistent verdicts were explicable on the evidence and therefore convictions were safe; preventive detention was justified because the offender posed a high, entrenched risk of serious violent sexual reoffending and had failed prior treatment, making a determinate sentence plus ESO insufficient to protect the community.
