The shadow home secretary has branded a seven-year jail term for an Iranian who raped a 13-year-old schoolgirl in an alleyway a ‘disgrace.’
The judge who sentenced Sorosh Amini, 21, said he did not consider the rapist to be a ‘dangerous person.’
And he concluded that the terrified victim did not suffer ‘severe’ psychological harm.
Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp, who was also policing minister under the previous Government, told the Sun: ‘Amini violently attacked a 13-year old girl in broad daylight in Croydon town centre.
‘For the judge to give a lower sentence because she “allegedly didn’t suffer severe trauma as a result” is a disgrace.’
