That seems to be the consensus is that the sentences just need to be longer then no worries for this but sentencing can be so light, that its traumatic if the rapist serves no time or little time and then gets out can trigger a victim to take their own life. Sounds like the solution is not so much enhancements, just life time sentences for rapists.
The question is though, is should the crime include the effects on the victim later in life? not just the actual act, as in this crime it has life long effects on the victim, that may take years to manifest?
It isn't like shoplifting something that can be undone or repaid, this has dramatic effects that will alter the course of someone's life forever and they carry it with them forever. Almost no other crime has life long effects outside of sexual crimes.

His punishment should be the same as his crime.

7 months jail time at least
That's going to be difficult to prove
No penalty at all.
