20 years for 299 victims. That's just over three weeks per victim.
Although...
Le Scouarnec, 74, has been dubbed France's most prolific paedophile. He is already in jail after being sentenced in 2020 to 15 years for raping and sexually assaulting four children, including two of his nieces.
He'll probably die in jail, so .. there's that.
- I always thought repeated offenses call for harsher sentences, not milder, but I guess here we are now.
  
  20 years is the maximum sentence in France
- And not from old age
While I'm not at all comfortable with the overuse of incarceration in our legal system, some people do need to be contained, like this unfortunate specimen.
Im not usually a proponent of capital punishment, but there's a special place in hell for this man.
- Well can we seriously assume this man has eternal punishment in hell waiting for him?
  If not we should make his time here confronting and uncomfortable, constantly reminding him off his sins.
  You must be very certain that death is not a quick release of pain and suffering in order to wish it upon these kind of people.
I'm sure Brigitte Bardot will be along shortly to protest the injustice...of a sex criminal suffering the consequences of their actions.
- I searched her Wikipedia page and she seems cool as hell, but no mention of prisoners rights advocacy.
  
  She's a feminist and animal rights activist, yes. She is also pretty islamophobic and racist, also noted on the wiki page.
Give him the needle
Worth to be hang.
Can somebody explain why every article about this is coupled with a drawing instead of, for example, the face of the piece of shit, or one of those random stock pictures that are often used for similar articles?
- No cameras in courtrooms.
feet first into a woodchipper set to 1% speed is the only appropriate punishment for that dude
- whoever downvoted this needs to be investigated. likely a pedo
  
  or not in favor of feeding criminals into woodchippers
  
  you must be new on lemmy...
