Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has called an appalling case, where three teenage boys were spared jail for raping two girls, a situation that is being reviewed by the attorney general. The judge at Southampton Crown Court gave the boys Youth Rehabilitation Orders, aiming to avoid criminalizing them, but victims described the sentences as a "slap on the wrist." The boys filmed the assaults and shared footage online, with the attorney general having 28 days to decide on referral to the Court of Appeal.
