[2012] EWCA Crim 2747

A sentence of imprisonment for public protection imposed for distributing indecent photographs of children was quashed. The sentence was based on a previous finding of dangerousness under the Criminal Justice Act 2003 in respect of an extended sentence imposed for similar offences prior to the decision in R. v Terrell (Alexander James) [2007] EWCA Crim 3079, [2008] 2 All E.R. 1065, and the judge had not engaged in a separate assessment of whether W met the dangerousness criteria.
