Doesn't this make you angry ?

In the papers today a rapist got 3 years while a burglar got 8 !
It appears the judicial system doesn't think rape is a serious crime ,this kind of sentence is seen more and more

The rapist pounced on a young woman in an underpass and raped her......is that enough information for some of you !!!!

I don't care whether the burglar had 100 previous convictions or had done time before the point is 3 years for rape is a disgrace and it's not uncommon to see a sentence like this handed out,although reading some of the replies on here maybe it's not even a serious crime to some of you.

What do you think the sentence should be?

I'd like to see minimum sentences for every crime and the full term served....with extra time added on for bad behaviour.
So,for a rape like this, 15 years.
There should be no leniency for violent rapists.

There is no place in society for people like this guy and unfortunately this is not an isolated incident,rapes happen on a daily basis....and the sentences seem to get more lenient,under the orders of the government I suspect because of the prison overcrowding problem.

Curtis Pizzey was actually sentenced to six years, not the three that the Sun reports. That's why it's useful to know the case, newspapers are often wrong in what they report.

Personally I wouldn't say that was enough though.

you're quite correct,it was 6 years,still not enough as you say
