Petition Action

Make the law on Pedophiles fit, 1 year for every year under age per victim.

Petition Details

To many Pedophiles are getting away with suspended sentences or pathetically short jail terms only to be released back into the community to re-offend.
This needs to stop.
This is a crime that leaves its victim traumatized fro the rest of their life

Additional Information

The current law on rape is a good starting point.

Single offence of rape by single offender: 5 years custody - victim 16 or over 8 years custody - victim 13 or over but under 16
10 years custody - victim under 13
Rape accompanied by aggravating factor: 8 years custody - victim 16 or over 10 years custody- victim aged 13 or over but under 16
13 years custody - victim under 13
Repeated Rape of same victim by single offender or rape involving multiple victims: 15 years custody

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. We understand you want new sentencing guidelines based on the age of victims but we're not sure which offences these guidelines would apply to.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
