Default Schoolboy gang sentenced for rape

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/7772273.stm


Nine schoolboys have been sentenced for raping a 14-year-old girl.

The nine, all from east London, were given detention orders for the group attack which happened in Hackney, east London, on 30 April last year.

The girl was snatched by the gang from the street and dragged into the stairwell of a nearby block of flats.

Six boys were found guilty of rape, kidnap and false imprisonment, while three others admitted the same charges. They were all convicted on Friday.

Some of her attackers were 13 years old at the time, Snaresbrook Crown Court heard.

The girl was told by the Kingshold Boys gang leader, O'Neil Denton, 16, she should be raped for "insulting" him, the boys' trial had been told.

Sex offenders register

Denton warned the girl she would be stabbed if she did not do as she was told.

She finally escaped when a member of the public intervened.

Legal anonymity was lifted by Snaresbrook Crown Court on Denton, and six of his co-defendants - who are all from Hackney, Leytonstone, and Bethnal Green.

Denton and Weiled Ibraham, 17, admitted rape, kidnap and false imprisonment and must serve a minimum of three years and eight months before becoming eligible for parole.

They were told they would also remain on licence for life.

Yusuf Raymond, 16, pleaded guilty to the same charges, and received a nine-year sentence.

The six defendants who had denied the offences were also sentenced.

Jayden Ryan, 16, was sentenced to eight years, while Alexander Vanderpuije, 15, Jack Bartle, 16, and Cleon Brown, 15, each received six years.

Two other boys, aged 14 and 16, who cannot be named, did not physically attack the girl but helped to stop her escaping.

The 14-year-old was sentenced to two years and five months in secure local authority accommodation, while the 16-year-old received a detention order of three years and nine months.

All the boys were ordered to register as sex offenders indefinitely, apart from the youngest who was told he would have to sign for three and a half years.

Horrific.

Sounds like they'd been desensitised or didn't full understand the implications of actually gang-raping a little girl.

Another point about this story I heard about it.

Apparently a passer-by walked past and mouthed to the girl "are you ok?" and the girl shook her head... the passer-by then winked and walked off. Not getting any help or anything.

It's good to see the judge lifted the restrictions on publishing their names etc. The radio report said something about the judge saying that the public has a right to know their identity. Too often, the ones under 16 are protected. In my view, if you commit a crime as serious as rape, you don't deserve to be treated like a child, because you didn't act like one when you were commiting the crime.

Yes. Apparently only a few of the boys started the attack and "took turns" with her, and then even rang up their friends to join in. And midway through, someone saw, and then that happened.

I find that really disturbing.

I found that incredibly disturbing too Loz, and on the radio earlier, there were some interviews with people who live in that area, and some said that even the police are scared to walk the beat around there, and members of the public are terrified to intervene.

But, I'm sorry, no matter how dangerous it is.. if I seen a child being raped, I'd ****ing well intervene alright.

Horrible. SICK. I knew someone was going to say something and point out it was in Hackney. Even a member on MSN asked if i knew the boys that did it, they even asked if i was part of the gang which i thought was SICK and i have now blocked and deleted that person because thats one of the worst things anyone has said to me, ever. It is SICK and i feel bad for the girl. I never go to South East Hackney anyway thats a bad place.

But To defend Hackney everyone that knows London has boughers. Then boughers are split up in parts well this was on the bad side of Hackney E9, Homerton to be exact. I still love Hackney and always will.

Exactly. And he still winked and laughed and then walked off.

Like L said - even I'd have intervened and I'm a weakling girl. That bloke could've stopped them and he didn't.

At the very least, he coulda phoned the police.

Loukas, everywhere has good and bad bits.. where I live is no picnic.. but it don't mean everyone should be tarred with the same brush. The people who said that to you on MSN deserved to be deleted. That's a hellish thing to say to anyone.

These stories where a mob of people or a gang do something so vile leaves me scratching my head. A lot of the really sick stories you can usually explain with "oh they must have been crazy" eg mum microwaves baby or son stabs dad 216 times. But these kids aren't mentally ill .... they have the ability to reason but somehow that's lost when the "mob mentality" takes over. I mean how pathetic and worthless must these kids feel when they are just on their own ?..... and then when they are in a group they become so super confident that they start thinking they own the streets and lose the ability to reason.

Anyway the "crazyness" of a mob isn't just a Hackney thing ( lol or a South East Hackney thing), it happens all over and all the time .... everything from a group of kids feeling empowered when they bully an individual to 1930's 40's Nazi Germany.

We all get that it's horrible ... another post of "ewwww that's bad!!!" isn't helping ( and actually seems a little self serving) .... ask how it can happen in a society and what can be done to stop it from happening again. It's what this thread seems to be missing... any kind of analysis, it's just full of " let's kill'em!!". Oh sh*t !!... you guys are sounding like a mob too!

"Denton and Weiled Ibraham, 17, admitted rape, kidnap and false imprisonment and must serve a minimum of three years and eight months"



"did not physically attack the girl but helped to stop her escaping."
"while the 16-year-old received a detention order of three years and nine months"

So someone who raped her got less months than someone that just helped not letting her get away how messed up..

Our justice system is incredibly lenient though. How often to the perpetrators of these crimes actually get a sentence which fits the crime?

We only have to look at the lads who killed Jamie Bulger to see how much of a joke the law is in this country. They are living new lives with new identities. In my view they should have been incarcerated for life.

I like the way the law works in (some of) the states in America. People get sentenced for each crime, and then the sentences get added together. So, a serial killer could theoretically be serving 150 years in prison, meaning that even taking into account reduced sentences for good behaviour, they'd still be in jail a pretty long time.

I have two children Ange, and to be honest, it scares me that children are capable of such crimes. I raise mine well, but maybe some of these boys were raised "well" also. All it takes is to get in with the wrong crowd, and a well-adjusted, normal teenager can turn into this. I think it's because of our lax laws though. Criminals get away with so much and it can lead to a feeling of invincibility for some when they see others doing crimes and not paying the price.

Where I live there are a lot of young people who break the law and generally act like idiots, but there are equally as many who don't. I think it must be hard for the kids who live in rough areas to get recognised for the good things that they do. Too often, people judge you on where you live, and because a selection of your community behave badly, they assume you will too. I got that to an extent when I was a teenager, but it's so much worse now. It's a shame, because there are a lot of good kids in this area, who go to school, do well, and try to make something of their lives, and yet the only ones which ever get highlighted are the ones who don't.

I dont think tougher sentences would stop things like this to be honest, that kind of thing would go on where theres depravity, drugs, lack of parental control and such like. It still does in the US where there are tougher sentences. I dont know what the answer is but hanging and incarceration isnt imo. And that poor girl, hope shes getting access to proper help. I dont know maybe projects that get communities together to try sort out their problems might help prevent gangs getting out of control

they deserve to be put away for a long time but it doesnt seem to work elsewhere locking people up forever. I doubt for second they considered the consequences of what they were doing
