If that was your child that had been horrendously abused, what would your opinion on the length of the sentence, takiung into condsideration that he was only reecently freed after sexually attacking ANOTHER child?

He hasn't misread anything - the disgusting pervert COULD BE eligible for parole within 5 years and 3 months. Free to attack another child.
