Picture: The Crown Prosecution ServiceThe teenage victim of a rapist who was spared jail because of his age is "inconsolable" after he was given a community sentence.The grandfather of the unnamed victim, who was just 13 when she was raped by Sean Hogg, himself 17 at the time, said he felt he had let her down by promising the law would take care of the situation.
“She was left inconsolable when she found out he’d been let out — absolutely devastated and distraught," her grandfather said.“She said to me ‘you told me to go through with this, all this grief and stress, now look what’s happened’," he told the Sun. The sentencing has also sparked outrage among those in the legal and political professions, with Rape Crisis Scotland's CEO Sandy Brindley describing the sentencing as "worryingly lenient".
