I don't think it's that

It almost seems like the problem is lots of judges don't think rape is a big deal. -- Drew Edited by drook March 19, 2024, 10:45:04 PM EDT Expand All History

It seems 12 years is actually quite harsh for raping your 14-year old daughter for 2 years :-(

Not just here either; that shit is rife in anglo North American justice. I actually did a petition about a case here in Kingston, aimed at the judge who basically let a uni hockey player off for raping a high school girl.
