[2009] EWCA Crim 87

A sentence of six years' imprisonment imposed on an offender who had been found guilty on two counts of rape against his ex-wife was unduly lenient having regard to the grave breach of trust involved in the attacks and the offender's enjoyment of his ex-wife's discomfort at trial, and was increased to a sentence of 10 years' imprisonment.
