Violence Against Women and Girls
Tackling violence against women and girls is not being taken seriously when such a hideous crime results in these two cowardly men being handed down sentences of just 5 and 7 years.
"The victim recalled being raped inside the car by one of the defendants while the other recorded the attack on his phone, police said."
In Scotland the younger one would be considered for a reduced sentence because he is under 26 years of age.

Two men jailed after woman on night out raped in Hornchurch
Two men have been jailed for filming the rape of a woman in a car who had been on a night out with friends.
Rinor Korqa, 25 of Dunton Road in Romford and Bujar Jashari, 34, of Victoria Road, Southend, were sentenced for rape at Snaresbrook Crown Court on January 24 this year.
They had been convicted at the same court two days prior (January 22).
On June 25 in 2023, a woman, 34, was separated from her friends during a night out in Hornchurch town centre.
She was alone in a bar when two men approached her, took her to a car and drove away.
The victim recalled being raped inside the car by one of the defendants while the other recorded the attack on his phone, police said.
Detective Sergeant Charlie Yexley of the Havering crime investigation department said: "This was a complex investigation into two predatory offenders who would likely still be offending now if it wasn’t for the bravery of the victim in coming forward."
Korqa was sentenced to five years and six months imprisonment for rape and failing to disclose his mobile phone PIN.

Bar staff had helped with police enquiries and it was found the suspects were seen approaching several women before leaving with the victim.
DC Yexley added: “We take allegations of this type very seriously and I hope this case encourages other victims of rape and sexual assault to come forward, at the very least so we can ensure you are okay and supported.”
Anyone who has been a victim of sexual assault or rape should report the incident to police by dialling 101, or report online.
In an emergency always dial 999.
