Four Year Sentence for Raping Two Children

I don't know how this is considered an appropriate sentence. The judge gave him a six year sentence, but he will in all likelihood only serve four. It seems like an excessively lenient punishment. It's utterly vile.

And the parents who raised him got away with no consequences. That's the bit I have more issues with.

Its a strange article. The judge explained the reason for the leniency (the abusers age at the time), so I don’t see an issue with that. There is some excessive praise for his family and family support unit though. Odd
