Criminal Cases Review Commission told to deal with Fordingbridge rape sentences

Two boys, aged 15 and 14, were previously given non-custodial sentences for a combined 10 counts of rape and seven indecent image offences in Hampshire.

A two-day hearing at the Court of Appeal is set to decide whether the boys' non-custodial sentences are 'unduly lenient'.

The prime minister said the sentences would be reviewed at the Court of Appeal, after the Attorney General ruled they were unduly lenient.
