I should bloody think so 😡

The government is to review the sentencing of three teenage boys who raped two girls in separate attacks, after receiving multiple requests to appeal the decision.

Prosecutors said the assaults in Fordingbridge, Hampshire, in 2024 and 2025, were "brazenly filmed" on phones and showed the boys laughing and encouraging each other. They later shared some of the footage online.

The boys, two aged 15 and one aged 14, were given youth rehabilitation orders (YRO) and the two older ones were also made subject to intensive supervision and surveillance (ISS).

A government spokesperson said it shared the public's shock at the details of this "horrific case" and its thoughts were with the young victims, adding "the Law Officers are urgently reviewing the case with the utmost care and attention".
