Judge condemned for 'praising' teen rapists
Alicia Kearns tells LBC that she has written to the Attorney General to review the case. The three boys could potentially have their “unduly lenient” sentences overturned after public outcry.
The attorney general is now set to review the sentencing of three teenage boys, two aged 15 and one aged 14, who were not given custodial sentences after raping two girls, 14 and 15, in two separate attacks in Fordingbridge, Hampshire, in November 2024 and January 2025.
