(Jerusalem Post) Two French Muslim teenagers who raped a 12-year-old Jewish girl in 2024 have been sentenced to seven years and nine years in prison, respectively.
The sentence was handed down on Friday in Nanterre juvenile court, following a three-day trial. These two appeared on charges of gang rape of a minor under the age of 15 on the basis of religion. The length[s] of the sentences received were near the upper end of the maximum possible jail time of 10 years.
The two were 13 years old at the time of the incident; a third boy involved in the incident was below the age of criminal responsibility (12 at the time) and therefore cannot receive a prison sentence. The third boy was sentenced to five years in an educational facility.
