THE cases of three teenage boys spared jail for rape have been referred to the Court of Appeal following a review under the unduly lenient sentence scheme.

The two 15-year-olds received non-custodial sentences at Southampton Crown Court last week for raping two girls in Fordingbridge, Hampshire, one in in November 2024 and the other in January last year.

A third boy, aged 14, received a separate non-custodial sentence after being convicted of two charges of rape.
