I see your point and I agree, but I'd just chuck him in prison for at least a few decades (not just 14 months... in what universe is that just?).

Preferably with some kind of therapy to go along with it; no idea if that would even help but it's worth a try, eh?

[–] Cypher@aussie.zone 2 points 3 weeks ago

14 months is too short by far but the reason for relatively short sentences for these offenders in theory is so they don't kill their victims.

I'd be down for permanently locking them up and putting suppression orders on the media. Ensures they'll never hurt anyone and reduces the chance of other pedos finding out and offing their victims.

14 months is ridiculous. I mean sending him back would be a decent punishment. I've been here for 32 years and there's no way I feel I could survive back over there. It's not hell on earth but there are so many things that would disturb my well being.

He would get some more publicity upon his arrival too. Anyway, let's hope Karma prevails.
