Gisèle Pelicot says she is “deeply shocked” after three teenage boys charged with raping two schoolgirls are spared immediate jail time. The cases involve offences committed in separate attacks in Fordingbridge, Hampshire, in which two boys aged 14 rape girls aged 14 and 15. The two incidents occur weeks apart. In the second attack, a boy who was 13 at the time is also convicted over his role. Following a sentencing decision that did not send the boys to prison, the matter is referred for further review, with the case expected to go to the Court of Appeal. Reporting across the outlets describes public concern and calls for scrutiny of the sentencing outcome. The Court of Appeal referral indicates the decision is being challenged on grounds related to how the sentence was determined. The allegations and convictions remain the subject of legal process, and details of the exact sentences and any appellate arguments are not fully specified in the provided summaries.
