[2006] EWCA Crim 3077

Offences of rape that occurred within a domestic marital context did not justify a reduction in sentence, and judges should have regard to a defendant's culpability, the perceived risk that he posed to society, the level of harm inflicted and the impact of the offences on the victim.
