Fordingbridge rape victim: “I’m the one being punished”

In January last year, a 14 year old girl we’re calling Olivia, was attacked by three boys in Fordingbridge in Hampshire. Two were aged 14 and one just 13 years old. One of the boys raped her while the other two filmed the attack. Just two months earlier, the older boys had attacked another girl in an underpass in the same town.  The three boys were convicted of ten rape charges related to the two attacks. But they were given rehabilitation orders rather than jail time. It’s a decision which has sparked outrage. On Tuesday, the Prime Minister announced their sentence will now be reviewed.  Now, Olivia and her family have spoken to The Times about the trauma they've experienced and what they hope will happen next.  This podcast was brought to you thanks to the support of readers of The Times and The Sunday Times.
