I thought it might have been a set term thing, but thought even 8 years seems light - the 50% remittence thing just makes it a joke. Eight years isn't exactly a long term, but four? Probably 3 at most if you thrown in time on remand? And this where there is absolutely no doubt that a. it was rape and b. it was him.
What hope does that give to anyone with a less cut and dried case? Who didn't have witnesses? Or a rapist who admitted at the TIME it was rape and then pleaded guilty?
