Are the laws combating human trafficking harsh enough? (pizzagate)

submitted ago by cakeoflightylight

https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1600375/7849464 Here is a case of a former law school dean who was given the opportunity to have his record sealed if he completes a pre-trial diversion program and admits to the charge of soliciting a prostitute.

I wonder if this type of deal is ever given to sex offenders. ??

Sentences for sexual abuse are ridiculously low even in the US.

This guy Perlitz who abused over 100 boys in Haiti only got 19 years.

19 years. For traumatizing a hundred people for life, a large percentage of whom will become abusers themselves.

Btw lenient sentencing for sex offenders particularly pedos is common throughout the Western world. Probably because the judiciaries are deeply compromised themselves.

Well the max sentence in europe is 20 yrs no matter how many you raped or killed

Not true, European countries vary widely in laws, precedents and judiciary discretion.

But yeah, >20 years for pedos is rare for the reason I mentioned.

I was obviously generalizing. I bet they don't vary that widely. Bet no country has life w/o parole even. They're just weird in europe and permissive

Bull shit many EU countries have life sentences. Please inform before engaging.

They are much weirder wrt pedos in the US where sentences are harsh EXCEPT for child abuse, than in Europe where they are generally more lenient overall.

I said life without possibility of parole. Your reading comprehension sucks, is English your second language?
