The sentencing range of 6 to 14 years 6 months' imprisonment for multiple counts of sexual offences against children, as stated in KMT v The State of Western Australia (referring to The State of Western Australia v Prince), applies only to offending that includes sexual penetration. A total effective sentence of 6 years' imprisonment for seven counts of indecent dealing (without penetration) against a single 13-year-old victim over three occasions was unreasonable and plainly unjust; a total effective sentence of 4 years 6 months was substituted.
