You have to be careful, though. If molesters are treated the same a murderers, then more molesters will be murderers. They have nothing to lose, afterall, by killing the victim/witness since the punishment is the same.
And this is taken from punishment 101 at your nearest liberal college or university? The only "careful" that needs to be watched for is making sure the switch is "on" and not "off".
You mean this could happen?
