State sentencing ranges for convictions on aggravated criminal sexual abuse - a Class 2 felony which often involves sexual acts by use of force, a weapon or victimizing a family member - call for a prison sentence of 3-7 years.
In Lake County, the average sentence is 33 months.
Sex crimes, especially those against children, are doubly troublesome because those who commit the crimes routinely repeat the crime. Some experts say child sex offenders released from prison are four times as likely as other criminals to re-offend.
Those poor kids in Lake County will never get justice.
