No! No! And Thrice NO!

Fury as man, 21, who raped 13-year-old in park walks free as he is deemed too YOUNG to be sent to prison and is only made to carry out 270 hours of unpaid work in 'insult' to his victim.

Sean Hogg (top), 21, was found guilty of pouncing on the vulnerable teenager at Dalkeith Country Park (bottom right) in Midlothian, Scotland. But judge Lord Lake said the age of the rapist, who was 17 at the time of the attack, had to be taken into account when passing sentence. It means Hogg, of Hamilton, Lanarkshire, will only have to carry out 270 hours of unpaid work. Prosecutors were yesterday weighing up whether to challenge the sentence if it is considered 'unduly lenient'. Opposition leaders described it as 'an insult' to the teenage victim. Sandy Brindley, chief executive of Rape Crisis Scotland, said: 'This is an extremely serious case and we are shocked this perpetrator has not received a custodial sentence. At Hogg's sentencing at the High Court in Glasgow (bottom left) yesterday, Lord Lake said that he had considered guidelines on offenders under the age of 25. Mail.
