Original Note:
Sentence was reduced to take into account that Nazir Ahmed was a “child” when he committed the offences, (14 when “buggery” of 9-10 yr old boy & 16-17 when attempted rape of 4-5 yr old girl) & to take into consideration punishment in the 1970s for someone that age. https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/R-v-Ahmed-Nazir-and-others-2023-EWCA-Crim-281.pdf https://www.theguardian.com/law/2023/mar/17/peer-nazir-ahmeds-jail-term-for-1970s-sexual-assault-cut-by-three-years
