Raise minimum sentences for sexual abuse in Montana
Minimum sentencing for sexual abuse needs to be raised in Montana to include more than just probation and include prison time.
Why is this important?
A recent decision was made by judge Randall Spaulding in Lewistown, MT to impose only the minimum sentence to Jason Terronez for the crime of rape of a 5 year old girl. His sentencing was only for probation. Judge Spauldings reasoning for this sentence was that "it was not a violent crime" Demand that the minimum penalties for sexual abuse in montana are raised to more severe sentencing that includes prison time. Help get these criminals off our streets! Write to Montana lawmakers and Governor Greg Gianforte. Sign this petition letting them know that this is not ok and needs to change.
