No, it isn't. Would you rather live in the Democratic Republic of Congo? Do you realise how lucky you are to be a UK citizen? I don't think you do.

God forbid any of us know or have had a family member raped, but if the person who did it got 8 years which even in your eyes isnt justice, I dont think id let him get away so easy.

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.

I'm sure the Democratic Republic of Congo wouldn't allow a foreign rapist to walk the streets after a shitty punishment.

Agreed. Which is why the Jury can't know the victim or suspect personally.

I doubt they would have caught him in the first place.

okay then, put your money where your mouth is;
if you really think that makes it a better country, please, move there.
@ tombi123 - I still think that seems way too short for rape, but I understand your points.
