this week I read about an incident where two young lads in Manchester (both likely from middle class backgrounds and at least one a University student) were driving a car at 130 mph in 30 mph city street.
Unsurprisingly, they were involved in a collision where another driver was killed.
Both got around 12 years each as well as being banned from driving for 5 years *after* they leave prison. They will serve about 6-9 years inside.
Why should a serious sexual assault *not* result in similar penalties? Of course it won't stop every offender who is impulsive or even mentally disturbed, but it *does* act as a deterrent to normal lads as prison is shit and boring, and there are usually other more enoyable things you could be doing with your life..
