Question juridique clé
Whether the increase of the hypothetical sentence from six to twelve months under Art. 47 CP was unlawful due to prior convictions
Solution extraite
The sentence increase was within the court's discretion and not excessively severe.
Motifs extraits
Prior convictions, especially similar and recent ones, may substantially aggravate culpability. Given the offender's extensive and recent sexual-offence record and reoffending while serving a sentence, the increase was not abusive.
