An aggregate sentence of 5 years and 9 months imprisonment (non-parole period of 3 years 5 months) was imposed for a course of conduct over 4 days involving burglary, act of indecency without consent against a sleeping victim by a stranger (with threats of rape), multiple thefts, and deception offences, where the offender had prior convictions for similar offences including a 2016 act of indecency conviction. A 20% discount was applied for guilty pleas entered at criminal case conferencing. The court confirmed that range-based assessments of objective seriousness (low/mid/high) are unhelpful in the ACT.
