Renewed application for leave o appeal from sentence – three years – outraging public decency. The judge said that the applicant had provided the worst and last act of oppression and invasion of the victim’s personality and privacy. The applicant had violated a woman in a dreadful way and the shocking nature of his acts over a prolonged period of time meant that a prison sentence of greater length than that indicated in a previous authority was appropriate.
Held: Leave refused.
