Queensland appeals lenient sentence in prolonged child abuse case, calling it inadequate.
Queensland Attorney-General Deb Frecklington has appealed a lenient sentence for a man convicted of prolonged child sexual abuse, calling it "manifestly inadequate."
The appeal follows criticism from the victim’s family and Frecklington over the judge’s use of remorse, childhood trauma, and delayed reporting as mitigating factors, which the family said trivialized the abuse.
The judge’s comparison of the offender’s behavior to "raging hormones" drew further backlash.
Frecklington, who has previously secured harsher sentences in similar cases, emphasized the need for stronger protections for victims and is pursuing a High Court appeal.
