A man jailed for seven years for his assault on a transvestite has had his sentence reduced to five years in the Victorian Supreme Court of Appeal.
But Quentin Dwayne McCrae, 29, of Pakenham, who was sentenced on December 1, 2006, will serve just over half that term with a non-parole period of two years and nine months.
The court had previously heard that McCrae met a person he believed to be a woman at a club in Southbank and the pair spent a couple of hours drinking and playing pool together before going back to the complainant’s Flinders Street apartment.
