R v D (2006)

PUBLISHED January 18, 2006
SHARE

A three-year sentence was substituted for a sentence of four years and three months' detention for five counts of rape of a child under the age of 13. The original sentence was manifestly excessive in light of the proximity in ages between the offender and the complainant and the offender's plea of guilty.
