One of the victims in the Fordingbridge rape case has described feeling she is the one being punished after three teenage boys convicted of raping her and another girl received no prison sentences. The 16-year-old, attacked when she was 15, told the BBC the judge's decision felt like 'a rock straight in my face'.
She questioned what the point had been in enduring the trial and reliving the evidence. The attorney general has referred the sentences from Southampton Crown Court to the Court of Appeal amid public outrage.
