Sentences of 11 years’ imprisonment imposed on three offenders and a total sentence of 14 years’ imprisonment imposed on another offender for offences arising out of the sexual exploitation of two young girls were appropriate in view of the various aggravating features, which included the fact that one of the girls was a vulnerable 16-year-old child and that both girls were forced to act as prostitutes.
