Court held the District Court starting point of four years was excessive; appropriate starting point was three years and six months, from which a 15% total discount (10% for causal effect of appellant's prior sexual abuse and 5% for good character/prospects) was applied, producing an end sentence of two years and eleven months' imprisonment; no additional discount for bail was warranted.
