Many of us on the island feel the sentences handed to such criminals are too lenient and therefore, do not protect part of some of the most vulnerable in our society. Our children. Also it offers little, or no closure to those victims and their families that have to live in a small community not knowing if they will cross paths.

Please sign this petition to see if we can get this changed. If you are found guilty of indecency towards a child, a suspended sentence surely isn’t enough! Let’s protect the next generation, harsher sentencing for sexual offenders is needed.
