...rape isn’t the charge that tends to be tried through the justice system, though ...for this and equivalent cases, when ...and the difference between the maximum sentence for each is vast...I completely despair, though with our justice system and the lack of safeguarding children...even with the charge only being sexual assault as opposed to rape...?..the maximum sentencing could be up to 14yrs, I believe...when do we ever see that applied in reported/high profile cases...nowhere near, it’s generally a few years and obviously that serving time is generally halved again...how can that ever be justified with potential lifelong emotional trauma to the child...the present laws are favouring the accused and not the abused...
