As the sentence is concerned this Court has on many occasions pointed out that when we sit here as the Court of Appeal of the Cayman Islands, we have to take into consideration the prevalence of this offence here and the serious oneness which the Legislature of the Cayman Islands

Having regard to the view which has been taken by the Legislature and which has been referred to by the judges in these Islands, we are unable to date with the sentence, therefore, the appeal against the conviction and sentence is dismissed, the conviction and sentence are affirmed. The sentence will commence on the conviction.
