It was appropriate to reduce an extended sentence of 19 years’ imprisonment imposed on a offender following his guilty plea to assault by penetration where he had lain in wait for a victim in a car park late at night and then assaulted a lone female and threatened to kill her. Despite the significant degree of planning, the element of opportunism and lack of sophistication in the offence had to be borne in mind, and in those circumstances an overall extended sentence of 15 years’ imprisonment was appropriate.
