Teen Girl Gets 7-Year Sentence Over Rape
- Share via
A teenage British girl was sentenced to seven years--two years more than two male accomplices--for her part in the canal-side gang rape of a 37-year-old woman.
Claire Marsh, 18, last month became the youngest of the few women ever found guilty of rape in Britain after she participated with a gang of boys--one just 12 years old--in the rape last July in London.
The teenager, who reportedly reveled in her membership in the gang, punched the victim in the face and then ripped off her top and held her shoulders down shouting encouragement to the boys as they took turns raping her.
