SENTENCE
______________________________________________________________________________
DODIN J.
I have heard counsel in mitigation. The convict is 32 years old and the father of one child of 15 years old. He has pleaded guilty to the amended charge as soon as it was filed and has saved the Courts time and expenses of a trial. He is a first offender. As counsel has stated he has shown remorse and counsel moves for leniency for the convict.
Having considered all the above and noting that the child has recovered completely and that the convict is no longer in a relationship with the child’s mother so therefore I will impose the following sentence:
1. Two years imprisonment. The time spent on remand which is 19 months shall form part of the sentence.
2. The convict is entitled to remission which means that two thirds of your sentence would come to 16 months so you can be released immediately.
Signed, dated and delivered at Ile du Port, Victoria on 21st day of October 2022
