Life in prison sounds like a nice solution and all (yeah we all want to see these kind of monsters behind bars (or worse) for good.) but what if the rapist, or child molester is capable of murder? I mean, there's prolly a greater chance of these fucks killing the people they molest and or rape afterwards if they're likely to be given a life sentence either way. I mean, they prolly think they have atleast some chance of avoiding jail if there are no witnesses, so in a way, by making it a life sentence for any sex crime against a child, it encourages them to murder in order to cover their tracks.
