Longer prison sentences for child sex offenders.

Petition Details

Introduce longer sentences for child sex offenders. Including online grooming and distribution of images. Any sexual interaction with children under the age of consent.

Additional Information

I am so disheartened and appalled when I see and hear of stories in the news where children have been abused and exploited and the offender is given a light sentence that does not at all reflect the dispicable nature of the crime.
