Key legal question
Whether the refusal to transfer the detainee to an open/half-open facility had to be overturned.
Extracted holding
The transfer was correctly refused because the risks of reoffending and absconding remained high and had not materially changed since the last assessment.
Extracted reasoning
The court relied on the unchanged forensic assessments, the updated prison and therapy reports, and the continuing high public-safety risk, especially regarding sexual offenses against children.
