Mandatory life sentences for repeat child sexual offenders to protect children

Summary

Introduce mandatory life sentences or whole-life orders for repeat child sexual offenders, and remove eligibility for early release. Ensure sentencing reflects the lifelong harm caused and prioritises protecting children from repeat offenders. Sexual abuse of a child causes lifelong trauma. Victims often suffer for life, while offenders can receive shorter sentences and be released back into society. There is strong public concern that repeat offenders are reoffending after release. Sentencing must reflect the severity of these crimes and prioritise public safety. Stronger, tougher measures are needed to protect children and prevent further harm.
