Summary

Change the law to allow for the death penalty to be imposed to anyone convicted for raping or sexually abusing a child or vulnerable person. We believe there surely is no more heinous a crime than this kind of physical and psychological damage imposed on our precious children. We believe that there are no success stories where full rehabilitation and ‘cure’ has taken place with regard to sexual attraction towards minors. These people are, in our view, the biggest blight on society. We think that grooming gangs have further fuelled and highlighted the need for the gallows for such acts.
