Girl raped by boys spared jail tells BBC judge's decision was like 'rock in my face'
A teenage girl started a relationship with one of the teenage guys on Snapchat, travelled to visit him but what that happened was that the girl was rapped by the guy and one other guy. The two guys (15 years of age) and one other guy (14 years of age) had also rapped another person before which has also been known in the court.
The worst thing is that they videoed this girl (that see the court order as injustice) and sent the video to social media. This is more than the guys are 15 year teenagers, it is an evil intent.
The court ordered the 15 year defendants to go for three-year youth rehabilitation order (YRO) and the 14 year teenager to go for 18-month YRO.
The victim said why going to court if that is the no punishment that the court will tell the teenagers to go for. Some reputed people are also supporting the victims. I hope the two girls will get justices, it is not about someone to be a teenager, I see the teenagers guys as someone that could have turned to a serial rapists if no court intervention, but the court intervention is not good enough.
What the court is not talking about that we should also talk about
I have to blame what is happening now, why should a girl travelled to someone she does not know before, what if the person will kill her. I have read many news that something like this happened. We should also educate our children very well, I see what the girl did to be very wrong, to travel to someone he did not know and it got to raping her. If she is an adult, probably they will prefer to go to a public place like a restaurant or an eatery.
They should turn 18 and be sentenced or not?
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cjrp98285yvo well, the offenders are being judged based on their age as per when the incident happened. They're under 18 and are judged as minors based on the assumption that their reasoning ability is not fully developed and thereby immature so the only thing that can be done for these ones is to rehabilitate them. Also parents should do well to give proper education to their children both sex to avoid such situations so as not to be a victim or an offender
