LADY JUSTICE WHIPPLE:
Introduction

Grounds of Appeal
Discussion
"19. It seems to us that relevant factors in assessing the gravity of cases of this type will include the length of detention; the circumstances of detention, including location and any method of restraint; the extent of any violence used; the involvement of weapons; whether demands were made of others; whether threats were made to others; the effect on the victim and others; the extent of planning; the number of offenders involved; the use of torture or humiliation; whether what was done arose from or was in furtherance of previous criminal behaviour, and any particular vulnerability of the victim whether by reason of age or otherwise."
Not all of those factors are present in this case but some are undoubtedly in play.
