- High Court
The District Court did not err: given the seriousness and predatory nature of the offending, the appellant's limited insight, and that the proposed address (his parents' home) was the environment associated with his childhood neglect and sexual abuse, the residence was unsuitable and home detention was not an appropriate substitute for imprisonment; the 19 month sentence was properly imposed and is affirmed.
