What is the minimum sentence mandatory for pedafiles?

Question

please provide concrete documents or websites where this answer could be found

Answer 1

There is none -- because being a pedophile is not a crime.
There is nothing illegal about thinking about children, or even finding children sexual attractive. It's like thinking about robbing a bank -- unless they actually DO something, the thought itself is not illegal.

Child molestation is a crime -- which is what happens when someone actually HARMS a child -- and the sentences vary by state and country, so there is no single minimum. But most states do have some minimum sentence for those convicted of child abuse or child molestation.

Answer 2

There is wide discretion of sentencing provisions, at least in my country. The Criminal Code gives a list of 'dangerous offenders' offenses in s.752-3 which allows for an indefinite period of incarceration.

Beyond that, the Crown must also follow the sentencing and punishment policies set out in the Crown Policy Manual, either federally, or provincially.

In Canada, the average sexual offense sentence lasts four years, but pedophilia offenses are usually much longer, if proven.

Answer 3

depends on which state the ped lives in, which state the victim lives in, which state the offense was commited, the circumstances involved with the offense, the presiding judge hearing the case, and how good the lawyers are. no offense, but it's too general a question. is two fourteen year olds having consensual sex considered a sexual offense? when the boy was convicted of sexual assault on a minor, does that make him a ped? made him a sexual predater.

Answer 4

There really isn't any real minimum..in most states it's still judges discretions.,,In CA there is min. 25 yr for certain crimes against children...And each touch and each penetration to one child is considered a seperate crime and counted as such.
