A term of imprisonment of three years was unduly lenient in respect of an attempted rape and other sexual offences where there had been a course of conduct over a number of years by the elderly grandfather of a young child. Taking into account the need for the defendant to look after his sick wife the appropriate sentence was one of four years and six months’ imprisonment.
