Kudos to Depa MP Michalis Yiakoumi who is advocating harsher sentences for child predators.
Although Cyprus’ criminal code enshrines life sentences as the maximum penalty for a number of sexual crimes against children, sentencing is often seen by child advocates as inadequate and inconsistent.
In Cyprus, the most anyone has been convicted for the sexual abuse of a child is 26 years for serial rape over six years.
By contrast.
