I have to ask myself what is the point of prison sentences, if it is to stop the miscreant from performing the crime again, then this is a pointless sentence, if it is to stop others performing the same crime, will it be effective?
if it is to satisfy those people including myself who are disgusted by predatory abuse, then we will feel better, if it it is for the victims to feel that they have at last been listened and have got some partial justice then it will partly achieve its purpose, the problem in my opinion is that no amount of prison sentences or money can compensate for being abused, for a child to have innocence and the rest of their life spoiled, how can this be compensated for?
