16-Year-Old Victim Speaks Out After Being Raped by Two Teens Who Filmed the Attack, Condemns Their Jail-Free Sentence

A GIRL who was raped by two teenage boys while they filmed the vile attack on their phone has slammed a judge’s decision to spare them jail.

The victim, 16 – who was in Fordingbridge, Hampshire – said the sentence was like a “rock straight in my face”.

The “petrified” girl was 15 when she was forced into a “threesome” by two 14-year-old boys in a horrific 90-minute ordeal in November 2024.

Her attackers, now aged 15, were also convicted of raping a second girl, aged 14, last January along with a third boy, who was aged 13 at the time.

The boys filmed the rapes and later shared some of the footage online, but all avoided when they were sentenced over the attacks.

And the 16-year-old victim has now slammed the judge – who praised how the boys handled the harrowing trial – and his decision to spare them jail.

Southampton Crown heard both victims were “significantly outnumbered” and suffered prolonged ordeals.

The girl said Judge Nicholas Rowland’s decision made it seem as if “it was OK in the eyes of the because they were still children”.

He said the boys were “very young”, had low intelligence, had a “limited understanding of consent”, and were susceptible to “peer pressure”.

The judge added: “I think of you as very young and none of you have been in any big trouble before.

“You have all done very well with the restrictions put in place throughout the trial.”

Speaking to the BBC , the victim questioned why she had been put “through the pain of going to court” just to “relive the attack”.

She said: “He almost made it seem as if what the boys did was not ok, but it was ok in the eyes of the law because they were still children.

“Why did I put myself through the pain of going to court… reliving everything because of evidence and watching it all happen again?

“It gave me a sense of ‘what’s the point?’, what was the point of putting me through that… just to say that it’s fine.”

The court heard she had travelled to meet one of the boys for the first time after he had begun a “relationship” with her on .

Jurors were told she believed they were in a relationship and agreed to go to an underpass next to the River Avon and perform sex acts on him.

The victim said she was “nervous” but “comfortable” when alone with the boy because she was feeling “some love towards” him.

But the court heard she became “scared and anxious” when the second boy and a third boy – not the third defendant – arrived.

Jodie Mittel KC, prosecuting, said the trio began “pressuring her and they recorded her” and they were “laughing”.

She told jurors the boys suggested they had a “threesome” which the girl “felt disgusted” about.

But she went along with it because she feared being thrown into the river and felt it was “the three boys against just her”.

The prosecutor added: “The word she used to describe how she was feeling was petrified.

“(She) says she did agree but only because she didn’t know what would happen if she didn’t say yes.”

The girl later described feeling “numb” and shaking while the boys were “laughing and recording what happened” over the 90-minute ordeal.

Ms Mittel continued: “She was feeling sick, felt like she was about to pass out.

“The other boys were recording whilst she sat in silence trying her best not to cry.”

Following the horror, one of the boys asked her “Why do you look so sad?” and bought her a drink to “cheer her up”.

Videos of the incident were later sent around and other people made jokes about the girl and she received messages calling her a “s**g”.

Ms Mittel added: “Sadly, you might think, (the two boys) didn’t seem to be very worried about what (the complainant) wanted or didn’t want to do or what she might be feeling.

“We say, they just wanted to use her for the sexual things they wanted to do.”

All three boys have been made subject to a 10-year restraining order against their victims.

The older teens were given three-year Youth Rehabilitation Orders with intensive surveillance and supervision.

And the youngest defendant’s probation supervision will be for one-and-a-half years.

One of the 15-year-old boys was found guilty of one charge of rape while the other was convicted of three charges of rape in connection with the first attack in November.

The first defendant was also found guilty of one count of rape and the second defendant convicted of three charges of rape in connection with the second incident in January.

The youngest defendant, now aged 14, was found guilty of two charges of rape by encouraging the second defendant in the January incident.

The first defendant was also found guilty of taking indecent photos of a child and the second defendant previously pleaded guilty to four charges of taking indecent photos of a child.
