Victims of serious sexual crimes undergo immense trauma to secure justice through the Crown Prosecution Service & thecourt system.Reducing custodial terms to resolve prison overcrowding undermines judicial sentencing,shatters victims' peace of mind,places a severe emotional burden on survivors who must renavigate their safety timelines.The safety and psychological well-being of victims must be prioritised over administrative convenience.Sexual offences should be completely excluded from early release expansions.
