I would like to say that these people, these victims, whether they have suffered incest, rape or other acts, are ruined for life. We talk about dignity. They have lost it and that has a major effect on many areas of their lives for years. The loss of self-confidence and the loss of trust in others are very important matters. I believe this is somewhat consistent with what Mr. Goguen said a little earlier. I cannot be in favour of sentences being served at home. I support Ms. Mourani. We need very stiff sentences because I do not think a person who does that can be easily cured. We are talking about people who make money on the backs of women and children. I would be afraid of that because the victims already have to make a considerable effort to pull through. The victims are very weak and they need to recover.
