1. This is an appeal against a sentence passed upon two charges of possessing 48,252 obscene DVDs for the purpose of publication. The nature of the obscenity was not all that grave, described by the Magistrate as being of a relatively low order of heterosexual activity without any scenes of extreme depravity. The Magistrate regarded the number of discs as being an aggravation and took a starting point of 2 years, passing a sentence of 16 months, having given a discount for the plea of guilty.
