Two of the convicted rapists are now aged 15, while the other is 14.
One of the 15-year-olds was given a three-year YRO with 180 days of intensive supervision and surveillance for the rape of each of the two girls and two indecent images charges.
The other 15-year-old was given the same sentence for three charges of rape against each of the victims and four counts of taking indecent images.
The 14-year-old boy was given an 18-month YRO for charges of rape in the January 2025 attack by encouraging one of the other defendants.
The boys would not have been sent to prison if they had been given custodial sentences. People who are aged under 18 serve custodial sentences in secure centres for children.
Reform UK MP Robert Jenrick said justice had not been done in the case. “If a judge has made a very bad error, which I think has happened in this case, they should be accountable for it,” he told the BBC.
Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch said on Friday she was “sickened” by the case, adding: “The crime could hardly be graver, yet the punishment was no punishment at all.”
Ben Maguire MP, Lib Dem Attorney general spokesperson, described the case as “utterly horrific”, adding that the review must be conducted “swiftly and decisively”.
Dame Rachel de Souza, the Children’s Commissioner for England, said she was “deeply concerned” and that her office would reach out to the families to offer support.
“I don’t want any young girl in this country to feel that can happen and not be addressed properly,” Dame Rachel said.
A government spokesperson said: “We share the public’s shock at the details of this horrific case, and our thoughts are with the young victims during this distressing time.
“The law officers are urgently reviewing the case with the utmost care and attention.”
