Sentencing following convictions for sexual interference and invitation to sexual touching arising from repeated sexual abuse of a young child by a parental figure in the home.
The court applied the modern sentencing framework for child sexual offences, emphasizing denunciation, deterrence, the serious bodily and psychological harm caused by digital penetration, repeated abuse, breach of trust, and foreseeable long-term impacts.
The sexual assault count was conditionally stayed under the rule against multiple convictions for the same delict.
A global sentence of six years' imprisonment was imposed, together with substantial ancillary orders, and the victim surcharge was waived for undue hardship.
