Did you read the article or am I missing something?

They are looking to make the laws more flexible for fringe cases that are accidentally being caught up by the law, not to reduce the minimum sentence for pedophiles and abusers. I'm sure there could be some instances where this will miss the target, but it seems like a reasonable justification to modify the law.
