Minimum 15 Years sentence for sexual offences against a minor.
I would like the Government to increase the minimum custodial sentence for any offenders found guilty of Sexual offences including, grooming and also sending and recieving indecent images of children to a minimum of 15 Years.
I'd like parliament to increase these sentences to deter these criminals from committing these crimes against children as I believe the law in place now it's too soft.
