[2012] EWCA Crim 1685

A judge had been bound to go outside the guidelines in passing sentence for convictions for making indecent photographs of children where the offender had very serious previous convictions for predatory offences in breach of trust of young girls, attempts at rehabilitated had failed, and there was a serious risk that, if unchecked, his behaviour would again escalate to the sexual assault of young girls.
