Longer sentencing for paedophiles and child abusers.

Petition Details

Offenders should be incarcerated for no less time than 12 years, anyone found to have pictures and/ or videos of child abuse should serve no less time than 10 years and those who are repeat offenders should receive no less time than 25 years.

Additional Information

We believe that the current sentencing for paedophiles and child abusers is way too lenient and call for tougher sentencing, they are simply getting away with their crimes. Please show your support, sign and share this petition. Help us make a change for a safer and brighter future.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.

You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.

We think this petition is similar:

If you’re concerned about a particular case, you could ask the Attorney General to review a sentence you think is too low if the crime was tried in a Crown Court. You can find out how to do that here:
