I was going to say we are getting somewhere with Pedophile punishments but it's only 21 years per instance of inappropriate contact.
Does it matter after the 99th year?
It's about the demoralizing action such a sentence has. With that large of a sentence you will never get parole, you will never be released early, and you will be an example to anyone else that would consider something like that.
Hasn't "making an example" with long prison sentences been shown to not actually discourage the commission of crimes?

No, that likely has nothing to do with the why. It might be one effect of such a long sentence, but I suspect it has more to do with you charge with the crimes you can "prove" and see what sticks. There's no guarantee of guilty on any charges. Charging someone with many crimes increases the chances of at least one guilty verdict. Of course, it also has other potential impacts, too. People make assumptions about people who are charged with crimes, and they make assumptions when someone is charged with A LOT of crimes. Prosecutors could certainly use that to their advantage.
21 years is an extremely long time.
what the duck is innop contact??? Gross even thinking about people
Wait until we start sentencing pedophiles to whole body CRISPR mutation of the oxytocin and serotonin gene so they only get 21 years but become incapable of love and happiness forever. Do you think that would be a better punishment?
Abusing the criminal justice system for your own perverted revenge fantasies instead of gearing it toward rehabilitation and release is pure fucking evil.
One hopes that part of overcoming that trauma is indeed acceptance of the facts as they stand and not deluded fantasies.
I cannot think of a therapist in the world that would consider it mentally healthy to fixate on and fantasize about your abuser regularly.
You may actually want to discuss these thoughts with a therapist yourself. It's not healthy to view the world as you do.
Yeah, we civilized people should actually punish every crime with the boats, that'll teach 'em
Does he have to serve them consecutively? Like, can he serve the first 300 years, take a break, then serve the last 407 after??
Everybody will be getting real nervous when he asks for a casket so he can lie cross armed in it
