5. Never heard of this "Manning" fellow?

First, Rape:

Prison sentences for rape are not uniform. A study made by the U.S. Department of Justice of prison releases in 1992, involving about 80 percent of the prison population, found that the average sentence for convicted rapists was 11.8 years, while the actual time served was 5.4 years. This follows the typical pattern for violent crimes in the US, where those convicted typically serve no more than half of their sentence.[11]
Between 2002 and 2003, more than one in ten convicted rapists in Victoria, Australia, served a wholly suspended sentence, and the average total effective sentence for rape was seven years.[12]

Aaron Swartz was facing up to 35 years. Despite the fact that the "victim" in his case declined to sue him - it was only the government going after him.

While I personally do not think of Manning as an activist, Anonymous does. And he's facing way more than 5.4 years.
