The prosecution sought for a jail term of at least four weeks for the offence of making racist remarks, and a fine to be determined by the court for the possession of obscene films.

Is “for” in “sought for” redundant?

Thanks.

@tanguatlay,
Yes, it's not needed. You would say 'sought for' when talking about a period of time, however, as in "We sought for Sally for 3 hours".
