not semantically. Punishments never are exemplary.
Technically, it's correct. But I'm not sure your reader would get your meaning. "Exemplary" is usually used in a positive sense. While it can mean "a punishment that sets an example", people are more likely to take it that you are praising the rapist.
Yes, the sentence is grammatically and semantically correct.
Yes. Perfect sentence. Spelling right too.
