Counter question: Who wouldn’t benefit?
Keeping someone locked up for decades doesn’t solve a problem. It hides it. Some things can not be corrected and we need to come to terms with it.
If someone is causing such a massive problem, there ought to be a solution which isn’t letting people in the future deal with it after he is out of prison.
Nope.
Death penalty is for shitheap countries. Do not want that on our shores.
disagree. People who commit crimes on such a scale should not be fed&housed on public money. kill them and be done with it.
But the justice system is not infallible, how many innocent people do you accept to be send to death row in order for people like this to be put to death.
…only 17 years??? This man committed two sexual felonies a day for a year straight and he only gets 17 years?

There is no punishment strong enough for people like this.

André Klip, a professor of criminal law, criminal procedure and the transnational aspects of criminal law at Maastricht University, said he wasn’t surprised by Thursday’s outcome and that Coban would likely spend more time in prison in the Netherlands than if he served his time in Canada.
“Dutch law is very predictable in terms of when a person can be released after being sentenced,” he said. “It’s very likely that … he would have been out far more early [in Canada].” -CBC
