      We already figured this out. We have fines, overnights in jail, short and long prison stays, even “state’s gonna kill you back you killer.”

      We don’t do “hurting kids means anal penetration by strangers”. Not even if you blend half the planet into a smoothie—we’ll kill you but with whatever injections manufacturers are willing to make, not with sandpaper.

      Such things could be codified but presumably would run afoul of conventions (IDK if Geneva applies if not war).

      Rape isn’t a part of what we’ve decided to apply as punishment (and again we’re even down to kill, since sometimes we’re super sure we’ll never regret things we can’t take back and aren’t worried about moral high ground).
