Former Home Office minister Jess Phillips and Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch criticised the sentences, calling them "unduly lenient" and stating they sent a "bad message" and offered "no punishment at all". The three boys, aged 14 and 15, received Youth Rehabilitation Orders, with the older two also subject to Intensive Supervision and Surveillance, despite the court hearing they filmed the incidents. The judge explained his decision focused on rehabilitation, avoiding unnecessary criminalisation, and acknowledging peer pressure, while praising the victims' bravery. The Attorney General's office has received multiple requests to review the case under the Unduly Lenient Scheme, following public shock and concern over the outcome.
