Rejected petition Change the pedophilia laws

More details

At present Pedophilies are being sentenced to 1-14 years in prison this is not long enough. I propose for the government to introduce these two alternative punishments:

1. Fine Pedophilies £1000 plus a minimum of 3 months community service/work if convicted for the first time.
2. Sent pedophilies to prison for life a minimum of 20 years if they reoffend.
