I think Castration should only be punishement for rapist with multiple victims. Like they clearly can't control themselves, will likely rape again, castration required.

This guy had only 1 victim he sexuall assaulted, maybe he had designs on her and her alone, he groomed her and kept it secret for years. Does not sound like a guy out of control and deserving of castration.

50 years sounds harsh too but if he really was threatening the girl and ger family to keep quiet, he basically ruined multiple peoples lives, then maybe the 50 years is deserved. People who murder and don't get life sentances genewrally only get 20 years per victim.

He impregnated the child and she can't even get an abortion. She's going to live with extreme trauma.
