15 years... but you only serve half the time if you behave in prison normally... so in fact he'd only do 7 1/2 years inside.
It might sound harsh, but I think it is important to a send a message. He might not have raped them, but he abused his power over them to sexually assault them against their will. I think higher standards should be expected of public servants, there are significant rewards (in this country at least - esp in terms of pensions) and the cost of bringing disgrace upon your office should be included in the punishment as well as the actual crime.
