Rejected petition Impose harsher sentences for pedophiles, rapists, and sexual offenders.

We want the government to enforce tougher sentences, end early release, mandate treatment, and ensure lifetime monitoring for pedophiles, rapists, and sex offenders.

More details

We demand the government impose harsher sentences on pedophiles, rapists, and sexual offenders. These crimes cause lasting harm, yet current penalties are too lenient. We call for stricter minimum sentences, no early parole for violent offenders, mandatory treatment, and lifetime monitoring for high-risk individuals. Victims deserve justice, and the public deserves protection. It’s time for laws that truly reflect the seriousness of these crimes.
