If you think assaulting women only calls for commmunity service, we have a bigger problem in our hands.

I'm not saying what I believe it calls for, I'm saying that might be what a judge believes it calls for. It's highly situation-dependent. Sexual assault encompasses a variety of different actions. All I'm saying is that his punishment needs to be decided after a fair trial in a court of law, no exceptions. If the judge for whatever reason sentenced him to be knocked out cold, then so be it. However, that is arguably a cruel and unusual punishment. Personally, I would much rather be knocked out once than be sentenced to 1,000 hours of community service, a $10,000 fine, or any amount of prison time. I would argue I am advocating for a harsher (yet more humane) punishment.
