Rape victims slam lenient sentences

A 16-year-old rape victim has described a judge's decision not to jail her attackers as a "rock straight in my face." The two 15-year-old boys were given youth rehabilitation orders for separate attacks against two girls in Hampshire, sparking a national debate over sentencing guidelines.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer has called the case "appalling" and confirmed that law officers are urgently reviewing the sentences.

The victim's testimony has highlighted concerns over the judicial system's handling of serious crimes committed by minors.
