BN was convicted of four offences of sexual assault of a child aged under 13, contrary to section 7 of the Sexual Offences (Amendment) Act 2003. He was sentenced to concurrent terms of 12 months’ imprisonment on each count. Her Majesty’s Solicitor General believes the total sentence of 12 months to be unduly lenient. Application is accordingly made, pursuant to section 36 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988, for leave to refer the case to this Court so that the sentencing may be reviewed.
