[2009] EWCA Crim 1393

A sentence of two years' imprisonment imposed on an offender for sexual assault was unduly lenient where the offender had unlawfully entered the property of a woman living alone at the dead of night. The sentence was quashed and replaced with one of four years' imprisonment even though the offender had already been released.
