The perp is serving 180 days on most of these offenses. It’s the max allowable under law, whether a liberal or conservative judge sentences him. He’s also mentally ill and with no fixed address. So, there are multiple possible solutions here, from changing the law on max penalties for serial offenses to redefining the what “threat to self and others” means when holding someone against their will in a psychiatric context.

Is this the maximum allowed on assault? Did he bargain down to this? I’m just trying to figure out how the sentences are so light.

Light? He touched someone’s stomach. The definition o kd assault here is stretched.

Brock Turner raped someone behind a dumpster and got 30 days.[/quote

It is light. there have been so many mentally ill homeless assaults and murders on women in DC this past year. The council should demand or pass an act strengthening involuntary commitment.

180 days in prison for touching someone's stomach is already accessive.

I agree that these people need rehabilitation but involuntary commitment (for how long, under whose oversight) is a step towards bringing back sanatoriums which were notoriously underfunded, lax with patient safety, and used to lock away anyone the public cited as 'objectable' which included a broad majority of women who were perfectly sane.
