Teenagers spared jail for 11 rapes after judge praises their behaviour in court


Three teenagers who rayped two lone young girls in separate attacks have walked free from court after a judge praised their behaviour and told them: ‘None of you need to go to prison today.’

The raypists – aged 13 and 14 at the time – recorded the attacks on their phones, laughing and egging each other on while outnumbering their ‘cornered and petrified’ victims.

One of the girls told Southampton Crown Court during their sentencing hearing: ‘All I want to do is die.’

But despite being convicted of a total of 11 raype charges in a trial in which the victims were forced to relive their attacks, all three were spared jail.

Leverage, self inflicted. I know someone at Rathbones who will lose his job as a result.

Morrisons, of course. I haven't read about the above,
it sounds absolutely unbelievable. We need new judges.

As with so many elements of society, politicians have outsourced responsibility for sentencing guidance and rules to faceless bureaucrats. Bureaucrats that allow judges to pursue their own ideology.

It is not beyond the wit of man (or parliament) to make hard guard rails on viscous crime. Rape is mandatory jail, whatever the mitigation. And a case can be escalated to the appropriate minster if there are some kind of extraordinary circumstances. If we go by the reporting, none of which apply in this case.

woke judges,its  more about the perps than the victims !

specific perps. not you or me I would proffer.

Sentances being reviewed, lets hope they get the full force of the law this time.

Indeed, but this judge will be dispensing 'justice' week in week out, we need rid.

Just makes your blood boil.

I'm sure there are a vast amount of examples, but we know of this one as it was very public. Chap jailed for corralling Chris Whitty on the street into a selfie. Deemed more of a crime than gang rayping girls, and filming it. Justice eh.

Astonishing.

Unbelievable
