Original Note:
It is difficult to imagine a situation where someone convicted of rape in England could be given a suspended sentence. Even at the lowest end of the sentencing guidelines the range is 4 to 7 years. Only sentences less than 2 years are capable of being suspended. https://www.sentencingcouncil.org.uk/offences/crown-court/item/rape/ https://www.sentencingcouncil.org.uk/overarching-guides/crown-court/item/imposition-of-community-and-custodial-sentences/#Suspended%20sentences:%20general%20guidance
