Teenage boys avoid jail after rape and sexual assault of girls in north-east England
Exclusive: Calls for urgent change after rehabilitation orders and ‘laughable’ £26 in court fees in three separate cases
Three teenage boys convicted of the rape and serious sexual assault of girls as young as 14 were given rehabilitation orders and paid £26 in court fees, the Guardian has learned.
The three separate cases all took place over the past year in north-east England. They were tried under youth court rules that deal with suspects aged 17 or under and place a greater emphasis on rehabilitation than adult courts.
