The ethical rationale which justifies his sentence is "Utilitarian".

Utilitarianism is a moral hypothesis that expresses that the best activity is the one that amplifies utility.

Utilitarianism is a variant of consequentialism, which expresses that the results of any activity are the main standard of good and bad.
