Too Lenient?

This is in the Hamilton Spectator (website) currently:

Guilty of assaulting four prostitutes
December 07, 2009
Rapist Najim Khairzad will serve 52 months for the rape of four Hamilton prostitutes.

The 26-year-old city man was sentenced this morning on four charges of sexual assault. He pleaded guilty last month.

Khairzad was arrested in January, 2008, after police pieced together a string of violent sex assaults on local prostitutes.Those attacks dated back to September, 2007.

Is this too lenient? I believe so - I think it should be a few years per charge, not a few years in total. and why 52 months? This seems to be an unusual number.

Courts don't see working girls as people.

Four years and four months does seem light.

yeah..definitely seems like...considering....he has repeated his crime over and over again.

 

[salsamarc]

it was lenient because he pleaded guilty and no trial was "necessary" therefore he saved all taxpayes money, system at its best.........he should have been give anywhere from 5 to 10 years IMO

He'll be out in a few weeks because of double time served and good behaviour.

Yep sends a real strong message doesn't it? Farking bullshit.
