A six-year extended licence period, imposed upon an offender who had pleaded guilty to four sexual assaults, was excessive. A four-year extended licence, equivalent to the appropriate custodial term, was therefore imposed.

The Powers of Criminal Courts (Sentencing) Act 2000 s.86 applied to the totality of a sentence even where part of the overall sentence imposed was in respect of sexual offences committed after September 30, 1998.

A total sentence of seven years’ imprisonment with an extended licence period of two years imposed on an offender following his pleas of guilty to three counts of sexual assault was manifestly excessive and was reduced to six years’ imprisonment; further, the extended licence period was not warranted.

An order under the Powers of Criminal Courts (Sentencing) Act 2000 s.86 extending the licence period of a sentence until the end of the full length of the custodial term should not have been made where the psychiatric evidence was that the offender, who had been convicted several years after he committed the offence, was no longer a danger to the public.
