A man convicted of sexual crimes against a mentally challenged 14-year-old girl was released from prison today.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Simon Davis was serving a total of 20 years\u2019 imprisonment after he was found guilty of eight counts of unlawful sexual intercourse and one count of buggery on the teenager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Davis was convicted in 2012 for the incidents which occurred two years prior.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The trial judge imposed a penalty of eight years imprisonment on each count of the unlawful sexual intercourse and 12 years on the buggery charge.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

While the sentences for the counts of unlawful sexual intercourse were ordered to run concurrently the sentence for the buggery conviction was ordered to run consecutively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Court of Appeal quashed the buggery charge, since lawyers agreed the judge had erred as he gave a direction to the jurors in relation to that charge.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Since Davis has already served his time for the other offences his sentence was varied to time served. <\/p>\n
