A sentence of imprisonment was entirely appropriate for a case of bullying which came to be sexual assault at the work place carried out in public and over a period of time. It was a public humiliation. The abuse of his position of authority by another defendant who then himself committed a sexual assault, also justified imprisonment. Sentences of 12 and 21 months were entirely appropriate. Women were entitled to protection in the work place.
