Original Note:
Magistrates and judges determine sentences, not partisan politicians, following guidelines. In 2018, “the majority of offenders were sentenced to immediate custody for child rape offences” (current report). The average sentence for an adult: 3 years and 8 months (2020). https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/crimeandjustice/articles/childabuseandthecriminaljusticesystemenglandandwales/yearendingmarch2019 https://www.cps.gov.uk/publication/sentencing https://www.sentencingacademy.org.uk/posts-1/sexual-assault-of-a-child-under-13
