Petition Increase the minimum length of prison sentencing for paedophiles, sex offenders.

Prison sentences for paedophiles are too short. Often when a person is abused or sexually assaulted, the impact of what has happened destroys their life leaving them with many issues. The survivor is left with a life sentence whilst the abuser is free to reoffend after a short prison sentence.
