Rejected petition Appeal for at least 15 years sentence to Rolf Harris
More details
Rolf Harris has been found guilty of child molestation. larger penalties must be inflicted otherwise there will forever be Rolf Harris', Garry Glitters to name only a few getting away with stealing our children's innocents.
The case needs to be appealed and a greater sentence to be inflicted otherwise child molestation and abuse will never be taken serious in UK.
This cannot be condoned..we need to take action and bring justice
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
Sentences that appear to be unduly lenient cannot be referred through the E-Petitions website. If you believe a sentence given in a Crown Court appears to be very low, or unduly lenient, anyone can contact the Attorney General's office asking for the sentence to be reviewed as long as it is within 28 days of sentencing. It also only takes one person to make such a request.
In the case of Rolf Harris the Attorney General’s Office has already requested the papers from the Crown Prosecution so one of the Law Officers can decide whether or not to refer the sentences to Court of Appeal as being unduly lenient.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
