Petition Mandatory Life Sentence For Child Sex Offences

Introduce legislation that ensures the minimum term of imprisonment for child sex offenders is a life sentence.

More details

Far too many child sex offenders have been released from prison too early and gone on to commit repeat offences. There is not good reason to show leniency on individuals who commit such horrific offences.

This would be a move to improve the safety of the nation's children, along with providing further justice for victims.
