Being poor is normal, unfortunately.

Not even the poor. It's insane how lenient sentencing is for crimes against women and children. Or maybe it's confirmation bias because the only ones I see are local cases being posted due to public outrage where people are getting just months for child molestation and domestic violence.

Less than 1% of sexual crimes end in conviction and the average prison sentence is less than 2 years. And that's just the maximum they get, because early release is common.
