South Australian man Mike Worsman was 12 years old when he was sexually abused in Canberra in the 1990s by a then 15-year-old.
The man, now in his 40s, was initially jailed for more than two years but after an appeal, he was re-sentenced to four years and seven months.
Mr Worsman said that was still inadequate and called on the justice system to start "listening to victims".
A child abuse survivor says the extension of his abuser's jail sentence by an ACT court still "falls short" of reflecting the seriousness of the offences.

South Australian man Mike Worsman was 12 years old when he was sexually abused in Canberra in the 1990s, by the then-15 year old.
His abuser — now aged in his 40s — pleaded guilty to five charges, including acts of indecency, in 2024.
Last year, ACT Supreme Court Justice David Mossop jailed the man for two years and seven months — to be suspended after 16 months.
Prosecutors appealed the decision and today the man was re-sentenced to four years and seven months' jail — not to be suspended until June 2028.
The court's reasons for the decision on the appeal are yet to be published.
