URGENT: Call for Review of Child Sexual Offence Sentencing and Prison Expansion
Review sentencing for all child sexual offences now. I urge mandatory prison for all child sex offences and whole life orders for physical child sex abuse. The government must build more prisons to ensure capacity and end leniency. Child predators can NOT be rehabilitated.

Background
Child abuse causes lifelong psychological trauma that current sentences often fail to reflect. Mandatory prison terms are essential to provide a true deterrent and ensure justice for victims. For those who have physically abused children, whole-life orders are necessary to eliminate the risk of reoffending and protect the public permanently. We must build more prisons so that capacity never dictates justice. Child predators can NOT be rehabilitated.
