4 years for rape. 3 for Facebook posts

Rape is not a child activity, its an adult crime. Four years is a joke.

And the first judge “didn’t want to criminalise them”?!
Didn’t he think those acts were criminal?!
No wonder the public think many judges are woefully out of touch.
I hope those teenage perverts don’t find their prison experience to be a holiday camp.
And I am glad they will be under police scrutiny for life.

4 years is a fraction of what they should have gotten in the first damned place. They’re still getting off entirely too easy.

Their 1.5 years under curfew (not being allowed out at night) will count towards their sentence. WTF?!

4 years for 11 rapes?
If you want justice you have to get it yourself.
@
4 years!? Castration. Execution.
@
They should have given them 10 yrs they're already convicted criminals.
@
Four years isn’t even enough. They should have got decades. They’re not fit to be around human beings. They will do this again when they’re released.
@
Ffs they got 4 years them poor girls got life 😢😢
@
0:20 the judge wanted to avoid criminalising the rapists unnecessarily because they were children? I believe that convicted rapists should be criminalised. But I'm no judge.
@
The so called "judge" is a fool. PROTECTING women and girls was a promise made by government, and then we have THIS!

The first judge should be discharged from his duties. Rape is a very serious crime whose consequences for the victims last a lifetime. These boys are not children and have not acted as such. They have acted as cruel, dangerous adults as as such their liberty must be deprived for quite a long time.
@
4 years, not enough. Serve 2. What chance of police keeping an eye on them.
@
Only months in reality because they've been under curfew? Calling THAT justice? 🤬🤬🤬
@
4 years for what they did? Theyll be out in less than 2.
