Gisèle Pelicot said she was 'deeply shocked' that three teenage boys received non-custodial sentences after sexual offences against two girls aged 14 and 15 in Fordingbridge. In a BBC Breakfast interview she praised the bravery of the young girl WHO came forward during the case. Pelicot warned the sentencing raises urgent questions about whether the justice system adequately protects victims and deters sexual offending.
