</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>There is no indication of the number of individual defendants
prosecuted for these offences or the final outcome of the prosecution proceeding or
if the charged offence was the substantive charge at the time of finalisation. It
is often the case that an individual defendant is charged with more than one offence.</p><p>
