[2004] EWCA Crim 1831

Where the defendant abused his position of trust, groomed three young boys and indecently assaulted them over a five-year period, a sentence of five years was unduly lenient, despite his pleas of guilty. Taking into account double jeopardy the sentence would be increased to six years.
