BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN: The Court of Appeal has dismissed an appeal by a man seeking to reduce his 25-year-and-six-month prison sentence for raping his six-year-old granddaughter at their family home.
In its judgment delivered on November 9, Chief Justice Datuk Seri Paduka Steven Chong, sitting with Justices Michael Peter Lunn and Edward Timothy Starbuck Woolley, ruled that the sentence was neither excessive nor disproportionate to the gravity of the offence.
