It would go a long way in having a law that prosecutes anybody sexually abusing a child or even an adult that encompasses all states with the same laws the same consequences and the same penalties in the country.
This system that has different laws ,different penaltys , different outcomes depending in what state you live in is ludicrous.
One country should have the same judicial system no matter how many states their are in that country.
This state has mandatory laws this state doesnt and the outcome can be so demoralising for those involved .
