Children - Not a Priority Enter the AD-FREE zone

The worst pedophile of the Finnish history has been caught. Fortunately this 40+ year bastard was caught in the airport in Helsinkin, after having a 'vacation' in Thailand. He was arrested, his house was searched and voila, all kinds of material was discovered. The cops soon found out, that at least 445 little boys had he had sex with in Thailand ALONE. That much was documented by himself. So who knows the real figure. He has already admitted guilty to more than 250 cases.

Now, in here.. guess what he gets? 'HE CAN GET UP TO 10 YEARS OMG OMG CRAZY LONG!'. 10 years is the MAXIMUM. That translates into he'll get somewhere between 5 and 8 years. Even if he got 10 years, he's first timer, so he gets out in half, meaning the MAXIMUM he sits will be 5 summers.. for at least 445 kids. That's not even a week per kid.

No.Not possible in our justice system. Kill one, hey kill 20. No difference. The maximum amount of time you can sit is the life stenence, which is 12 for one case, in multiple cases 15. Meaning if you kill 100 people, you get life sentence of maximum of 15 years. Can you get out sooner? Sure.

On a more serious note: 10 years would be a pretty serious sentence back home. I think only murderers and violent rapists would get more.

What's the punishment for murder in Finland?

It depends. Spree killers tend to commit suicide; either by themselves or by cop. I can only think of a couple of cases like that in New Zealand and in both, had he lived, the perpetrator would have been remanded to a psychiatric institution.

But most murderers would be out on parole before the 15 years were up. I think the worst sentence in NZ in recent memory was the Auckland serial rapist, who got 25 years.

The US has extremely draconian punishments compared to other western nations; yet it has a higher crime rate.

Space, yes. Do it in your 20s, you're out in your 30s. no ifs buts or ands..

Agathon, it's problematic, since murder in finland means you have to have killed a person using extreme cruelty. FOr example shooting them 10 times is not showing cruelty. It means torture. THAT'S murder. Premeditated act does not actually mean murder by default, which is the definition everywhere else.

SO. If you MURDER someone, it's .. depends. Could be life sentence (if only one torture kill, 12 year maximum, if more, then 15 year maximum). So.. if you get life, you are not getting out with half served. But you can be paroled earlier, usually they get out in 10 or so, being paroled. And that's when they kill a new person .

So.. basically the 12 years is the tops. For multiple crimes, 15 years is tops. This includes massacers. This means, that for single kill, you won't get maximum, because you could do a lot more as well, adn the spectrum has to be... used in proper way.

Really stupid move on the part of the Finnish authorities, there is a very good chance they will be releasing someone in 10 years who will continue his assault. And from what I have heard about finnish prisons, they aren't that much of a detterant.

Pekka, is this case causing sufficent outrage to lead to calls for reform of sentencing in Finland?

And the overall low crime rate for the country will sure do the children this person rapes a lot of good if he is released while still a danger. Which, considering there is no known cure for pedophilia, he probably will be.

Finland has a low crime rate, but a high murder rate.

It's pretty insane that this guy would only get 10 years. I would guess that he would rightly get life in the US.

DanS, exacto.. you know this dude will get his in the prison, but still... I mean... this screams vigilantism, which is exactly what we should avoid.

Oerdin, yeah tell me about it. I make these threads all the time, too. I'm not alwyas picking up the most outrageous cases even, so this is the norm. Just the idea, that you can molest 445 kids, so what if it happens in another country, that you can't sit more than 5 years in real life in prison. Remember, these are his victims in Thailand, the ones he himself wrote down to his memoirs and filmed etc. There's bound to be more.

As for a rule, if you rape a kid, you don't go to prison. You'll get like a year or 18 months paroled sentence. Rape a woman, you'll get less. Maybe a year paroled. Kill a person, if stabbing, anywhere from 2 years to 5 or 6 years, out in less. Man, you can kill a person by stuffing a knife into their stomach and repeat 20 times, and get out in year.

Crime rate is low. MUrder rate AND VIOLENT CRIME rate is HIGH HIGH HIGH. REmember, when talking about sentences, you don't get sentenced in here for just moletsing or little torture gaming someone. So those sometimes won't even show in statistics. It has to be a god damn pulp fiction type kill to make it to the news sometimes.

So, is it safe in here? yes it is. But justice system is not working.

Sounds as f-cked up as the Swedish justice system. A satanist murdered an Algerian gay back in -97 or -98 and got 8 years jail, which is a lot here. Last year, he was released and his band (Dissection) could go out on tour again as if nothing had happened. Great!

Also, as we had a thread on some while ago, if you gang-rape drunk girls here, it's essentially the girl's own fault, and you will either not get prison at all or you will get a very mild sentence

OK what people need to understand is not the 10 years. The need to realize, that it is the absolute MAXIMUM he can get. OK.. that's when they go extreme with the sentence. AND it is automatical, that as first timer, he will get out in half. OK, so 5 years is the absolute theoretical MAXIMUM. THAT's the problem. It's not that the court went easy on him.. ****... it's that the maximum penalty carries this. Of course, and the courts are not pursuing the most extreme in most times, except in outrageous crimes, like this could be. But if child molestation carries the maximum penalty of 10 years, it would be trivial that this is the case to pursue it. I mean, child molestation times 445 is pretty simple mathematics.

Welcome to the US...

quote:
2004 Federal Sentencing Guidelines
Chapter 2 - PART A - OFFENSES AGAINST THE PERSON
1. HOMICIDE
§2A1.1. First Degree Murder

(a) Base Offense Level: 43

Commentary

Statutory Provisions: 18 U.S.C. §§ 1111, 2113(e), 2118(c)(2), 2332b(a)(1), 2340A; 21 U.S.C. § 848(e). For additional statutory provision(s), see Appendix A (Statutory Index).

Application Notes:

1. Applicability of Guideline.—This guideline applies in cases of premeditated killing. This guideline also applies when death results from the commission of certain felonies. For example, this guideline may be applied as a result of a cross reference (e.g., a kidnapping in which death occurs), or in cases in which the offense level of a guideline is calculated using the underlying crime (e.g., murder in aid of racketeering).

2. Imposition of Life Sentence.—

(A) Offenses Involving Premeditated Killing.—In the case of premeditated killing, life imprisonment is the appropriate sentence if a sentence of death is not imposed. A downward departure would not be appropriate in such a case. A downward departure from a mandatory statutory term of life imprisonment is permissible only in cases in which the government files a motion for a downward departure for the defendant’s substantial assistance, as provided in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(e).

(B) Felony Murder.—If the defendant did not cause the death intentionally or knowingly, a downward departure may be warranted. For example, a downward departure may be warranted if in robbing a bank, the defendant merely passed a note to the teller, as a result of which the teller had a heart attack and died. The extent of the departure should be based upon the defendant’s state of mind (e.g., recklessness or negligence), the degree of risk inherent in the conduct, and the nature of the underlying offense conduct. However, departure below the minimum guideline sentence provided for second degree murder in §2A1.2 (Second Degree Murder) is not likely to be appropriate. Also, because death obviously is an aggravating factor, it necessarily would be inappropriate to impose a sentence at a level below that which the guideline for the underlying offense requires in the absence of death.

3. Applicability of Guideline When Death Sentence Not Imposed.—If the defendant is sentenced pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3591 et seq. or 21 U.S.C. § 848(e), a sentence of death may be imposed under the specific provisions contained in that statute. This guideline applies when a sentence of death is not imposed under those specific provisions.
