The rape sentences are too lax.  We the people demand a mandatory-minimum sentence of 15 years for every person convicted of rape.  Consistently, we are seeing small sentences for people convicted of this horrible crime, and our laws need to be changed.  We are asking for a MINIMUM sentence of 15 years for any person charged then convicted of rape, regardless of the age of the person involved. It is time to show victims of rape that our country will not stand by and let them off with a slap on the wrist, probation, or anything less than a severe penalty of jail-time served!
