Two teenage boys, convicted of rape in Fordingbridge, England, have been given four years' detention after the Court of Appeal changed their original sentences.

Lady Chief Justice Baroness Carr says the boys' initial non-custodial sentences were "unduly lenient", and the trial judge undervalued the seriousness of their crimes.

Two teenage girls were raped - one in November 2024, and one in January 2025 - by the boys, then aged 14.

They were initially given Youth Rehabilitation Orders along with a third boy, then 13, who filmed parts of the second attack - his sentence remains unchanged.
