Why are sentences so low for sexual assault/rape crimes? Does the know why? A teenage girl in her own home should never have to experience something so awful. How would this sentence act as a deterrent?

Now we all know that Naomi long campaigns for crime’s against women rigorously but when it comes to these pathetic sentences she has Fcuk all to say about them,WHY Naomi? Why would you not be screaming from the rooftops over this injustice for victims.

14 months for being a pedo?

Yet another incredibly weak sentence for an exceptionally serious offence. Sentencing guidelines are a disgrace!

Another ridiculously low sentence

14 months just shows how upside down this world is
