Ross. Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I agree with the lawyer. Less weight should be given to his identity and more given to his crimes. After doing that they should increase the sentence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Man who abducted girl while dressed as woman fails in bid to cut sentence - BBC News A man who abducted a primary school girl while dressed as a woman has had a bid to cut his sentence refused. Andrew Miller was jailed last year for 20 years after subjecting the girl to a series of sexual assaults. Lawyers for Miller, 54, also known as Amy George, claimed that sentence was "excessive" and put "too much weight" on his identity. Appeal judges considered those claims and his early guilty plea but concluded his jail term should not be reduced. Miller was sentenced in October for the offences committed in the Scottish Borders in February 2023. He admitted charges of abduction, sexual assault, watching pornography in the presence of the child under the age of 13, and possessing 242 indecent images of children. He was given an extended sentence comprising 20 years in jail and a further eight on licence under supervision in the community. Advocate Victoria Dow, representing Miller, argued that too much importance had been given to his dressing as a woman at the time of the abduction. She said he had a "trans" identity and had lived and presented as a woman for "many years". Lord Arthurson said the crime was "frankly nauseating in its level of depravity and criminal deviance" and the abduction had been "brazen and chilling". In a written judgement, Lord Carloway concluded that the sentence issued had been appropriate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
