Rejected petition Longer sentences for paedophiles & sex offenders. Make it a minimum of 10 years

As a mother, I am sick of reading stories in the local and national news about paedophiles and rapists getting a few months prison, while the child/adult victim lives with the psychological/physical damage for their whole life.

More details

Take your pick of media reports of people convicted (with evidence) who only get a few months jail time.
