It's not safe for them here.

He should add that to his arguments.

Either death penalty or mandatory life sentence without parole. Not only is sexual abuse a heinous crime that causes lifelong scars for the victim, but sexual offenders are not capable of rehabilitation. They will inevitably strike again given the chance.

As I understand it, sex offenders have one of the very highest rates of repeat offenses. They often have a long list of victims, and there is significant evidence that therapy or medication is completely ineffective at successfully treating sex offenders. They can't be rehabilitated, and they are an immense danger to society. They must be put away for good upon first offense.

He no doubt thinks he's above the law and can do whatever he pleases.

I hope he does time for this and doesn't get off with counseling. As was
mentioned above, it's not likely this is the first occurrence.
