Please raise a complaint about the unduly lenient sentencing of the three teenage boys who have avoided prison after raping two teenage girls.

It's unbelievable. What the fuck was that judge thinking?

Bog standard misogynist male, no care for women or girls, only worried about these vile boys - makes me sick with fury.

I was furious about this when i read this on Thursday night. Due to other things outside my control yesterday I only went onto the government website this morning to lodge my complaint and saw that they are already reviewing based on the number of requests made (and would let me lodge my request) Thank good ness hey are reviewing - despicable remarks from judge and unbelievable sentencing!

Signed. Absolutely shocking and heartbreaking.

My Mum was raped in a park by a stranger and to this day, she’s hugely affected and she’s 81. Those poor, poor girls.

From the press reports, I don't think the legal establishment have been left in any doubt that thousands of people, especially women, were outraged by the leniency of these sentences. Plus the speed of the response.

Score one for MN and @Gingerbreadtree . Well done you and everyone else who objected!
