Or raped someone. .how the fuck is this more prison time than much more serious crimes.
Presumably they can claw back some of the money too
The people with money make the laws. They want to protect their money above all else, so crimes against their money are punished more harshly than others. Note this doesn't happen when people with money steal from poor people en masse.
TBH the system barely even prosecutes sexual assault. It's probably more likely to be raped by a cop than be helped in a rape prosecution.
