Austrian Man Accused of Unspeakable Crimes

I'm sure you're all aware of this disgusting story that emerged out of Austria last week. The man who locked his 12 year old daughter in a dungeon 24 years ago and repeatedly raped her fathering seven children with her

There's more here (and other places too I'm sure)

AP Interview: Austrian wife clueless of daughter's captivity - Yahoo! News

But perhaps the lawyers on this site can help me out with something here. This paragraph from the above link

"Fritzl has not been formally charged. He faces up to 15 years in prison if he is ultimately convicted on rape charges, the most grave of his alleged offenses, unless prosecutors can charge him with "murder through failure to act" in connection with the death of the infant. That is punishable by up to 20 years in prison."

That's it? For all that he's supposedly done, that's the worst punishment he faces? Is that justice?
