A British court has convicted three men of sexually assaulting and raping a 15-year-old schoolgirl after grooming her online and luring her into a van, then livestreaming the attack. Despite the gravity of the offences, the court imposed suspended sentences, meaning the men will not serve immediate prison time. The decision has intensified debate over sentencing standards in England and Wales, with critics arguing that violent sexual crimes are being met with penalties that fail to reflect their seriousness. Legal analysts said the judge cited the defendants’ personal circumstances and expressions of remorse in opting for community-based penalties rather than custody.
