This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Change the law to minimum sentences for people convicted of rape.
Rape victims deserve the right to live their lives. How does having an "unstable mind" allow somebody to get away with any crime, never mind rape. Two rape charges + underage girls = 18 months community service, doesn't seem right, does it? The victims and their families deserve justice.
More details
Anyone that commits a crime should pay for what they've done, especially something as morbid as rape. If you have children, sisters/brothers or anyone that's ever had to deal with rape or any type of abuse, you should definitely sympathise with these families. Please help put these criminals where they belong, which is the jail or if they are too "unstable", there is always a psychiatric hospital.
