Rejected petition Tougher and longer sentences for paedophiles and sex offenders

We need to take action because sentencing is so lenient sex offenders are more frequently reoffending instead of rehabilitating we the undersigned propose that if the judge finds this crimes serious enough to warrant a jail sentence then the mandatory sentence of ten year should be given
