Autmomatic sentences for paedophiles & sex crimes against minors

Additional Information

Googling "Paedophile walks free" returns over 1 million hits with over 28% of results being individual cases based in the UK.

After much research judges have over the past 20 years disregarded the act of sexual crimes against minors and relax punishment against sex offenders who target children.

Automatic sentencing will see the abolishment of judges sympathising with sex offenders.

Minimum sentencing should be related to the severity of the crime.

Sex with a minor: 25 years minimum.
Sexual assault (leading on to sexual intercourse): 8 years minimum.
Indecent exposure to a minor: 6 years minimum.
Taking pictures of a minor for personal use or distribution: 12 years minimum.
Organisation of sex or sexual activity (including photography) with a minor: 8 years minimum
Re-distribution of sexually related pictures of a minor: 8 years minimum.
Any crime above with a previous conviction add's an additional 8 years to your sentence.
