          Four years doesn’t sound like a lot. It’s more than Brock Turner got but seems like he’ll be back out relatively soon and potentially in a position to offend again.

              Interesting read. Four years is a bad DUI or burglary in the states. Rapists usually get 10-20 years due to the violent nature of the crime.

                Punishments on the books and punishments actually given are rarely similar in the US. Rapists absolutely do not usually get 10-20 here.

            The difference is that USA uses incarcerated as slave labour, while Norway gives them help to make sure their behavior actually changes. If incarcerated changed their ways in USA, a lot of people would lose a lot of money.

            “four years isn’t a lot” says and paedophiles in USA are free laughing and drinking. You got some nerves you people.

            And he only got that because his mom is just married into the line. He got 4 years because he’s a step-son

      USA. They have repeatedly failed to bring justice to sex offenders in high up positions.
