Although harsher punishment may prevent some crimes, rape could arguably not be one of them. If a person is imbalanced enough to rape a child (crap, what was the name of that movie, where the father drugs his family, and rapes his son's friend who is their as well) then the consequences may not be a large factor in the descision. Then again, it might, I dunno, I know so friggin little about this stuff, I am a horrible arguer, someone take over for me please.... or not.
