- Court of Appeal
The sentencing judge did not err: remorse attracted little if any credit because it was belated and followed distressing trial cross‑examination; the guilty plea discount was properly limited because it was only entered after the complainant's evidence and after trial conduct that undermined earlier mitigation; and home detention was unsuitable given the need for specific deterrence and the appellant's extensive record of non‑compliance. Appeal dismissed and 18 month term of imprisonment upheld.
