UK judge’s decision not to jail boys for rape like a ‘rock straight in my face’, says victim, 16
A 16-year-old victim described a UK judge's decision not to jail two 15-year-old boys for raping two girls in Hampshire as a 'rock straight in my face.' The boys received youth rehabilitation orders instead of jail time for two separate attacks in November 2024 and January 2025.
