The Court of Appeal is set to rule on whether the sentences of three boys who were spared custody over the rape of two girls are “unduly lenient” on Thursday.
Two boys aged 15, known as X and Y, and another aged 14, known as Z, were given non-custodial sentences in May for a combined 10 counts of rape and seven indecent image offences related to two victims, who were separately attacked in Fordingbridge, Hampshire, in November 2024 and January 2025.
