Collins will serve a minimum of nine years behind bars, with the remaining six years to be served under supervision following his release.
The court also imposed lifelong restraining orders to prevent any contact with his two victims, emphasizing the seriousness of his crimes and the ongoing threat he poses.
Furthermore, Collins was issued a sexual harm prevention order, which severely restricts his access to children and digital communication devices, aiming to prevent any future offenses.
As part of his legal obligations, he will be registered as a sex offender for life, ensuring ongoing monitoring and restrictions to protect the community from potential harm.
