Millberry, Morganian, Lackenby v Regina: CACD 9 Dec 2002

The Court gave detailed guidelines on sentencing for offences of rape, following a report from the sentencing advisory panel.
Held: The court outlined the base sentences for single and multiple offences of rape, listing aggravating and mitigating factors, and dealing specifically with date rape, acquaintance rape, male rape, and anal rape. The base sentence should be 5 years, or 8 for more serious offences, with 15 years for repeat offences, and life imprisonment is appropriate where the offender was likely to remain a threat.
