[2007] EWCA Crim 3123

On the facts, a sexual offences prevention order had been properly made even though the sentencing judge had confused her expression of the criteria with that relating to the imposition of a sentence of imprisonment for public protection. The facts showed that the defendant would have satisfied the correct test and the order was therefore justified.
