Teenage rapists are being let off with £26 fines after being convicted of attacking girls as young as 14.
Rape campaigners reacted with fury yesterday as it emerged that in at least three cases teenage perpetrators have been spared jail and handed rehabilitation orders with financial penalties that are ‘less than a parking ticket’.
Harriet Wistrich, head of the Centre for Women’s Justice, has called for a review to establish whether lenient sentences are becoming the norm.
