Closed petition Set a mandatory custodial sentence for people found guilty of sexual offences
Closed on
Too many people found guilty of serious sexual offences, including possession of images and videos of child sexual abuse, receive either a short custodial sentence or no custodial sentence at all.
Individuals found guilty of sexual offences should be sentenced to jail for life! Lesser penalties like community service is not an adequate penalty.
People doing this should be imprisoned, not just given community services!
