Court of Appeal refuses DPP's application to review sentence for, inter alia, rape under section 4, on the grounds that while the sentence was at the outer limits in terms of leniency, it was not so lenient as to amount to an error in principle.
Offences: s. 4 rape (oral and anal), sexual assaults and a single offence of possession of child pornography
Original sentence: in aggregate, nine years’ imprisonment with the final two years suspended
Appeal by: prosecution (statutory application)
Outcome: application refused
