Petition Action

Bring a minimum prison sentence for all child abuse images

Petition Details

I want the government to change the penalties for all child sexual offences including viewing/possession of illicit images so that a minimum prison term is served.

Additional Information

Children are the most defenceless and innocent part of society and need protection from having this taken away and their lives ruined before they have even started. Behaviour of this kind should be punished with the upmost severity.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

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

We're not sure exactly what penalties or minimum sentences you'd like to see.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. You may wish to sign one of these petitions instead which call for similar actions:

Change the law to treat child porn as child sexual abuse: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/334146

Impose mandatory 10-year custodial sentences for all child sexual abuse offences: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/556664

Mandatory life sentence for child sexual abuse: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/562527
