[2008] EWCA Crim 1029

A sentence of two years' imprisonment following a guilty plea to an offence of sexual activity with a girl who was only five months short of her sixteenth birthday was manifestly excessive and was reduced to one of 18 months' imprisonment. The court gave guidance about factors to be taken into consideration by sentencing judges when making a sexual offences prevention order.
