Case in point..A 50 year old rapes a 13 year old..He can be charged with rape 1 and 2, amoung other charges...A plea deal is made.. He is now charged with Rape 2 ONLY WHICH IS A CLASS B FELONY BECAUSE CHILD WAS 12 AND OVER... Now he can get probation, or 2 to 20 years, and good conduct time, and parole. If he does same thing to a child under 12 and its a class B, Rape 2..now its minimun 10 years, no good time, no parole, and no probation.. Alabama code 15-20-21-5 needs to change age of child to 16 and under..and Alabama code 13a-5-2 which gives someone that RAPES a child "good time credit" should be done away with. Anyone that Rapes our children should spend everyday of a stiff sentence! ANY RAPE OF ANY CHILD IS WRONG, AND NO ONE SHOULD GET GOOD TIME CREDIT.. A CHILD IS STILL A CHILD AT 12, 13, 14, 15, AND 16.. IF YOU HAVE TO DO A CUT OFF AGE MAKE IT 16. WE THE PEOPLE OF ALABAMA KNOW OUR PRISONS ARE OVER CROWDED.. If our Military men and woman can sleep in tents on the ground, then a child rapiest sure can..THERE IS A WAY TO KEEP CHILD RAPIEST IN PRISONS FOR THEIR WHOLE SENTENCE..WE ARE LOOKING TO YOU TO FIND THAT WAY. PLEASE SIGN, AND TELL ALL FRIENDS, AND FAMILY
