Stephen Hilland was sentenced to two consecutive 12-month determinate custodial sentences on 26 May 2015, released on license on 4 February 2016.
His license was revoked on 21 October 2016 due to a perceived increased risk of harm to the public, leading him to file a judicial review on grounds of discrimination compared to prisoners under indeterminate or extended custodial sentences who are recalled only if there's a risk of "serious harm."
