Consecutive sentences totalling 12 years’ imprisonment, comprising of three years for indecent assault and nine years for the abduction of an eight year old boy, imposed under the Criminal Justice Act 1991 s.2(2)(b), were inappropriate as both counts reflected one course of conduct, and whilst a longer than commensurate term was required for the indecent assault, in view of the seriousness of the offence, a term of eight years was appropriate, to be served concurrently to the other.
