Minimum 15-year sentence for all child sexual offences

Petition Details

I would like the Government to increase the minimum custodial sentence for any offenders found guilty of a sexual offence against minors to 15 years.

Additional Information

We want there to be a 15-year minimum sentence for anyone committing a sexual offence against children, including grooming, sending and receiving indecent images/videos.

I believe this problem is the biggest facing this country, and that increasing sentences will help reduce crimes against children. Children's safety should be our number one priority. The Government must take action to protect them.
