Attorney-General’s Reference (No 29 of 2008) (Jon Peter Dixon)
Court of Appeal (Criminal Division)
“A non-custodial sentence for sexual offences against a child under 13 where the child had been a willing participant did not meet the essential fact that the law was there not only to protect children from the baleful influence of adults with an inappropriate interest in children but was also designed to protect children from themselves.”
