Justice Deferred for the Guilty The sentencing decision in Southampton Crown Court has sparked widespread outrage over the leniency shown to two teenage boys who raped girls in separate incidents in Fordingbridge, Hampshire.
The 15 year old defendants received youth rehabilitation orders with intensive supervision and surveillance.
Their mother described the judge's decision as "a rock straight in my face," expressing the sense of betrayal and disappointment that comes with feeling unprotected by the law.
