AIBU to complain about lenient sentencing in teenage rape case?

Done.

Outrageous. The judges remarks are beyond belief.

Only one person needs to make the request in order for the sentencing to be reviewed. That’s what it says on the page you linked. So I didn’t submit one, but I agree the sentencing was shockingly lenient considering the seriousness of the crimes, the premeditated nature, the fact the crime was repeated & the perpetrators lack of remorse.

I also objected. This is deeply flawed and unjust.

Thank you for sharing my links @Gingerbreadtreethe more who complain the better. I’m done with woman and girls being treated like this.

I hope you don’t mind. I’m adding the words of the strong and brave girls here also:

The victim impact statements described profound and ongoing trauma experienced by both girls after the assaults.

The 15-year-old victim said the attack had destroyed her sense of safety and badly affected her mental health. In a poem included with her statement, she expressed feelings of despair, emotional numbness, and suicidal thoughts. She described living with fear and the lasting psychological impact of being assaulted while others laughed and filmed it.

The 14-year-old victim said she felt emotionally disconnected after the assault and struggled to trust or relate to people around her. She described feeling numb, withdrawn, and permanently changed by what happened.

I did this x

There is another thread on this too - you can complete the online form and copy and paste a link to the news article in the field that asks for the name(s) of the defendent(s) criminals.

Its asking for the name of the people who were sentenced, op?

Have proceeded with 'not known' and will provide the date etc

THIS IS FUCKING DISGUSTING.

SIGNED.

I know, it’s made me feel sick.

My nineteen year old is going to a concert soon in a city none of us know (Manchester) and we spent time yesterday working out how she was going to get there and finding a hotel she could stay in. Now I feel like I’m throwing her to the wolves. Why should we have to feel like this, like we can’t live ordinary lives doing things that we want to do?

I'm so, so angry after reading about this. Absolutely disgusting. I agree everyone needs to complain.
