Girl raped by boys spared jail tells BBC judge’s decision was like ‘rock in my face’

A girl who was raped by two teenage boys has told the BBC that a judge’s decision to spare them jail sentences was like a “rock straight in my face”.

Speaking exclusively to Laura Kuenssberg, the girl, now 16, said: “What was the point in putting me through that?”

The girl, who spoke anonymously alongside her family, said the judge’s decision “almost made it seem as if what the boys did was not OK, but it was OK in the eyes of the law because they were still children”.
