I think it should be more than that...there are few crimes more serious...

what kind of wierd circumstances?

Ok I just looked up sentences for rape. The maximum sentence is life imprisonment. The average sentence is 4 years in jail. 

4 years?

for rape?

how on earth do they explain that?

good behaviour its called, sadly its true. aparantly a rapist can behave well and thus be released into society earlier

Rape isn't just forcing a stranger into a dark alleyway and having sex with her (or him) and doing that will get you more than 4 years. I am sure there are many reasons why someone would only get 4 years for rape, though I couldn't tell you because I know very little about law.

No... that is all rape is more or less.

Rape under British Law is defined as

"A person (A) commits an offence if -
a) he/she intentionally penetrates the vagina, anus or mouth of another person (B),
b) B does not consent to the penetration, and
c) A does not reasonably believe that B consents."

 

That's it.
