French rape survivor Gisele Pelicot has said she is "deeply shocked" after three teenage boys in England were spared custodial sentences for raping two young girls in Hampshire.
The victims were aged 15 and 14 at the time of the attacks which took place in Fordingbridge in November 2024 and January 2025. Two boys were 14 years old when they carried out the rapes. A third boy aged 13 was convicted for his role in the second attack. All three have since grown older and now face a Youth Rehabilitation Order rather than any time in a secure centre.
