00:10You continue to maintain your innocence, which is of course your right.
00:14However, it also means that I am unable to take account of any remorse on your part,
00:19or any insight into the harm you inflicted.
00:24Had I been imposing separate sentences in respect of each charge,
00:28I would have sentenced you to a term of imprisonment of four years in respect of charge one,
00:33and four years in respect of charge two.
00:36However, in order to reach a proportionate sentence overall,
00:40I will sentence you in respect of both charges one and two in cumulo to a period of imprisonment of
00:46seven years.
00:47The sentence will be backdated to 24th August 2026, when you were remanded in custody.
01:004!
