He pointed out that this type of offence is not only against morals, but also offends and sometimes crushes the personality and psyche of the victim and should therefore be dealt with severely, given that there is an increasing tendency to commit such offences.
In assessing the sentence, the court took into account the defendant's clean criminal record and his personal circumstances.
