Man who raped girl while driving drunk ordered to pay $18,750 compensation | News.com.au
A MAN has been ordered to pay almost $19,000 in compensation to a 10-year-old girl he raped while she sat on his lap "unrestrained'' as he drove drunk twice around a Brisbane suburban block.
Beenleigh District Court judge Ian Dearden, in a decision published today, ordered the man, identified only as "JPS", pay criminal compensation to the girl, now aged 15 and identified as AJC, for attacks committed on an unspecified date almost five years ago.
Judge Dearden sentenced the now convicted child rapist to two years' jail after a jury found the man guilty on October 31, 2007, of two counts of rape and four of indecent treatment of a child.
I miss Hinch on TV, where is the media on this one.
After I read the above sentence my blood started to boil. Is this how much we value our children? When a convicted rapist gets only 2 years and a few thousand dollars as a penalty for destroying a innocent life, he will be free to do it again in 2 years time, how many more lives is he going to destroy, is this justice?
Crimes against children should have harder sentences. This is a joke.
My question is why do we have sentences so light to a crime so horrendous. Can you imagine a child's body being desecrated by a grown man?
Where is the justice? No wonder we have so many pedophiles with such little punishment for such horrendous crimes.
I want to ask the men and women of Australia why do we value our children so little?
