Jess Phillips, the former minister for safeguarding and violence against women and girls, has urged for a review of rape sentencing guidelines in light of the growing number of sexual offences committed by children against children. She argued that victims are being asked to bear the burden of their attackers' rehabilitation, and that crime has become 'content for the eyeball economy,' with teens committing and filming vicious sex attacks for online platforms. Her comments come as at least three other recent cases have surfaced where teenage boys have avoided custodial sentences for rape. The case of two Hampshire girls raped by teenage boys, who walked free from court, has sparked national and international outrage, with one victim describing the sentence as a 'rock in my face.' Phillips criticized the current guidelines, which prioritize rehabilitation over punishment for juveniles, and called for a focus on early intervention education programs and youth justice programs to prevent such crimes.
