Two 15-year-old boys who were spared custody for the rape of two girls in Hampshire have been sentenced to four years’ detention after the Court of Appeal ruled their original sentences were “unduly lenient”. The boys, known as X and Y, and another aged 14, known as Z, were given non-custodial sentences in May for a combined 10 counts of rape offences and seven indecent image offences related to two victims, who were separately attacked in Fordingbridge in November 2024 and January 2025. The two older boys were involved in both attacks, while the 14-year-old encouraged the rape of the second victim. While the two 15-year-olds' sentences have been increased, the sentence given to the 14-year-old remains unchanged. • Subscribe to ITV News on YouTube: http://bit.ly/2lOHmNj • Get breaking news and more stories at http://www.itv.com/news Follow ITV News on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@itvnews?lang=en Follow ITV News on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itvnews/ Follow ITV News on
