Comment on Appeal court refuses to increase child rapist’s four-year jail sentence

As the crimes were committed in the 1980s, Roberts’ sentence reflected the legal norms of that period.

I can see the logic to this, but holy shit, was 4 years for sexually abusing a 7 year old a typical sentence back then?
