      Reminds me of the case way back in the day with someone who pirated music getting insane fines and how it was juxtaposed with the relatively small settlement an airline had to pay when its negligence actually killed people.

        It seems I remember Kim Dotcom listing losing his extradition case, as well.

      She hasn’t been sentenced and the maximum for rape is

      • For Aggravated sexual abuse with children: Life imprisonment without parole or any term not less than 30 years

      • For all other Federal Sexual Abuse cases: Life without parole or any other term

        Unpopular opinion: When the minimum prison sentence for child abuse is higher than that for murder, every child abuser has a strong incentive to kill their victim, getting rid of the most dangerous witness with no further risk to themselves.

          Crimes aren’t mutually exclusive, you would be charged for both.

            Yes, and getting charged 30+ years no matter what makes any additional punishment completely irrelevant.
            No criminal is ever deterred from crime by the thought that it could get worse than 30 years in prison.

              Right but there is absolutely no incentive to kill the victim as you previously claimed.
