Answer 1

Not sure, just go to jail I think.

Answer 2

Not physical castration, but chemical castration would be a justified option.

Answer 3

Not after one accusation (as that may be a false allegation), but after the second, third, 212th; yeah.

Answer 4

If it can be determined the person is truly guilty, let the victim decide anything to be done past incarceration. As it is now, you can do more time for a non-violent drug offense than the average sentence for rape. Rapists should get a life sentence with no parole, at the very least.

Comments

It's too late for Bill Cosby.  Castrating him would make no difference at his age.

Answer 6

Sounds logical.  They could move to Sicily as a costrati choir boy

Answer 7

Only if it's expecialy brutal and heinous like a rape of child(1-10), or proved to be premeditated or a serial rapist.

No, he said she said, date rapes or drunk at party , and no adult/under aged cases where the minor is a willing participant. 

No, to sexual deviants who get put on the sex registry for mollesting, child porn, mooning, exposing themselves, peeing in public, streaking, prostituting, nabbed in sex stings or doing other stupid stuff that gets you on the registry.

Answer 8

On one hand, pretty sure that falls under cruel and unusual punishment but it's not something I'd shed a tear over

Answer 9

It is very difficult to fight and prevent crimes, abuse and violence, when attitudes, social patterns and mentalities do not allow realistic, logical conclusions and action, and when, in many cases, prejudice and stereotypes, arrogance, or laxism and ignorance degenerate into blind fury and vendetta.

But when one witnesses affairs like:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-398909/Paedophile-gets-20-years-worst-child-sex-abuse.html 

one will wonder why incurable, recidivating pervert criminals should not be castrated and never be allowed to get out of prison again, all the more, when looking into news and statistics:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostitution_of_children

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_trafficking

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_serial_killers_by_number_of_victims

But we cannot predict how familiar and less familiar people will evolve, and neither do we know if we can progress and improve ourselves. 

And there is, though, always a risk that innocent people are falsely accused and sentenced in the place of the real culprits.

Did somebody read "The Franchise Affair"?

Furthermore, in most of the cases, the victims have not their saying (if they survive) ...

We were taught not to act according to the "lex talionis" system and to forgive, so as to forgive oneself, but in such extreme cases, I think that forgiving might not go without making sure that such criminals cannot do further harm ...
