I'm not buying that figure. Convicted rapists in American typically get way more prison time than that. What I do believe is that rapists in other Democratic countries on Europe and Canada often get lighter sentences than in the US, but still, even they get more than 1-2 years.
Care to link to some articles of men in the US getting harsh sentences for rape?

I thank and commend everyone involved in this case, but most especially the victim, who demonstrated tremendous courage throughout this long and difficult process. I can only hope that this outcome will help her to achieve a sense of closure," said State’s Attorney Gregg Bernstein.
There are hundreds of similar examples. Some of the ones I provided were because of more than one rape but I imagine that's a part of the problem in cases with lighter sentences. With one it many times becomes more difficult to prove rape and the woman would rather accept a plea deal where the man gets less time but she doesn't have to go through a trial.
With more than one it becomes far easier to prove and in the cases where proof is overwhelming, the sentences are indeed harsh in many cases. (harsh being relative, the correct word being, proper).

If you read those you'll see that all but one involved MULTIPLE rapes! If you talk about cases where just one woman is raped it's VERY rare they get any kind of real punishment.

you seem obsessed with rape. I'd get help for that
Huh? Where did I say all federal drug felons should be executed?
Peace, you didn't say it, I did,
and yes I believe it too. The only way to stop something is with fear, fear of death. so yes I would execute drug felon and all dealers and propberly some weed smokers too. I don't think drugs should be legal. I think it should be so illegal that people be afraid to touch it. drugs and crime go hand in hand, get rid of the drug use and crime would stop almost all together, oh there be some but i feel 70% would stop, umemployemt go down to about 3%, welfare would drop. and yes somebody going say alcohol, that a thought too.
crime is a business, the cops know who doing it. but if get rid of the business then cops be unemployed
so yes, drug felons should be executed right there beside rapist, we could have a express lane.people thank about 20% of population in orison, I could solve that problem real quick
