French rape survivor Gisèle Pelicot says she is “deeply shocked” by a UK sentencing decision that does not send three teenage boys to custody after they rape two girls. Multiple outlets report that Pelicot praises the bravery of the victims for coming forward, while criticising the outcome of the court’s sentencing. According to the reports, the incidents involve two separate attacks in Hampshire, in which the assaults are also described as being filmed. The boys receive non-custodial sentences, including Youth Rehabilitation Orders and curfews, rather than jail terms. One victim is quoted comparing the sentencing to a blunt impact. Pelicot and the victims’ representatives argue that the suffering of victims should be recognised more fully at sentencing. Some reporting also states that the sentences have been referred for review by the Court of Appeal, following a message calling for “justice” to proceed. The coverage is consistent in describing Pelicot’s reaction as supportive of victims and critical of the leniency of the sentences.
