Man, the guy is 18 and the next 17 years of his life he's in prison. That seems excessive to me for someone so young... I think he could use some help from the sound of the article, if this a sort of pattern he had been in. I think that sexual crimes are among the worst of all, but to me this seems a bit much. I would like to see parity between punishments for male-female situations that are similar. A year and 3 months seems too short to me, if you want someone to get help and to prevent that kind of thing happening again they are going to need mental help... and it will take considerable time to establish a pattern in meetings with a licensed professional to know if it really is likely that a repeat offense could happen.
