I think 'WTF?' sums this up quite well.
Not only am I astonished at the sentence given, I'm also astonished that the prosecution was only going for 8 years in the first place!
It should be life imprisonment or execution for these kind of crimes - repeated raping of a 7 year old - how serious does a crime have to be before proper punishments are used?
The judge says that long sentences used to "create a lot of anger" - well he's certainly creating a load now...
