Surprising leniency for rapists

Without sounding like a Daily Mail scaremongerer, I’d wholeheartedly echo Voice UK in their condemnation of the lenient sentence passed down to these three viscous rapists , and I couldn’t help feeling just as dismayed by a similar sentence passed yesterday on a local Wrexham man who committed an equally appalling attack on a young woman.

Isn’t it the right of every woman in this country to feel safe and secure, fully protected by our law? Do either of these cases and their sentences reassure those women? Of course they don’t, in fact they do the exact opposite. What is the point of sentencing these offenders if they aren't seen as a deterrent to others?
