MPs want rapists chemically castrated She stated that chemical castration should be “however carefully considered because there should be a balance between humanity and protection of citizens against crimes.” Chief of the ruling SPS-JS parliamentary group Branko Ruzic pointed out that this coalition would support such sanctions should parliament reach an agreement. “I am in favor of the strictest penalties. There are crimes that leave victims with permanent consequences, and rape is one of the most heinous crimes,” stressed deputy chief of the opposition SNS parliamentary group Jorgovanka Tabakovic. New Serbia MP Aleksandra Jankovic thinks that "this measure should be discussed“ because we "do not have many psychotherapy and resocialization programs for assailants and rapists". MPs debated this after the arrest of Sasa Mega, suspected of raping four young women in Belgrade last week and of an attempted rape. This repeat sex offender, who was only released from jail a few months ago, is now facing up to 15 years in prison if found guilty.
