Re: Research Survey on Rape and whether we should increase the sentence for rapist -

It's upsetting to hear about how few rapists actually get convicted. Quite a lot of the time it's a 'their word against theirs' as they can't be proved enough. The ones that do get put in jail should definately be put away for at LEAST 10 years, though even that sounds too low. I think you have different opinions on it when you've been raped yourself, especially when you haven't reported the person who did it to you.
I wish more than anything that more people actually get sent to jail because of it, a lot of those people are walking free and getting on with their lives. The victims? They're suffering and trying to come to terms with what happened, knowing that that person is out there and could do it again.
