The Queen v Perrey; the Queen v Perrey

The case of *The Queen v Perrey* involved appeals by the Crown against sentences imposed on the respondent. The appeals concerned the respondent's convictions for offences relating to child pornography and child exploitation material.

The central legal issue before the court was whether the sentences originally imposed were manifestly inadequate, thereby justifying the Crown's appeal and the court's intervention to re-sentence the respondent.

The court granted permission to appeal, finding that the original sentences were inappropriate. In exercising its discretion, the court set aside the sentences and non-parole periods previously fixed. The court re-sentenced the respondent to a total effective sentence of four years, eight months, and 17 days imprisonment, commencing on 14 August 2020 and ending on 30 April 2025. A non-parole period of 13 months was fixed for the State offending, and a non-parole period of 17 months was fixed for the Commonwealth offending, with specific commencement and end dates for each.
