THUGS who doused a girl with caustic soda after gang-raping her have escaped with insultingly low jail terms, it was claimed last night.
The 16-year-old victim, who has a mental age of eight, nearly died from the effects of the powerful drain cleaner.

But the laughing teenagers some of whom filmed the rape on mobiles as she begged for mercy ran off, leaving her screaming in agony.

Yesterday three of her attackers the only members of the ten-strong gang to be convicted were jailed for a total of 23 years.

However each will only serve HALF the sentences minus the amount of time spent on remand.

That means none will spend more than FOUR YEARS in jail.

Kathryn Stone OBE, chief executive of charity VOICE UK, said: These sentences dont come close to reflecting the brutality and horror.

They send completely the wrong message.

The girl still badly disfigured despite repeated surgery was lured to an empty house in Tottenham, North London, before being repeatedly raped by the gang, some wearing hoods.

Ruined
She still suffers nightmares and panic attacks.

Judge Shaun Lyons told Wood Green Crown Court: Her life changed irretrievably. In her eyes and her mothers her life was ruined. It is doubtful what form her life will take and whether she can operate fully as a young woman.

Rogel McMorris, 18, from Stockwell, South London, who threw the caustic soda, was sentenced to nine years but will serve just over four.
