But then how can we get that kind of legal system when judges are let off for similar offences? Another thread I guess.

My objection is not based on the sentence itself. But my own personal hate of this kind of person. In our society we are supposed to protect the young of the species, not sexually assault them. While other people on this forum may be happy to jail all criminals of all types. Personally I see it as a huge waste of taxpayers money. Spend £1500 a week feeling a convicted sex offender or murderer in prison for the rest of their lives, or spend £1 and shoot the filth in the back of the head.
I'll go for the extreme example of cost effectiveness, thankyou very much.
