I saw this on the news last night and I just could not help feeling very pleased that these rapists will actually have convictions recorded and some of them will do some time in jail.
Justice de Jersey said serious errors had made the sentences handed down by Cairns District Court judge Sarah Bradley manifestly inadequate.
“These errors were so serious as to produce a clear miscarriage of justice,” Chief Justice de Jersey said.
Yesterday’s judgment found a rush to catch a plane and a massive judicial workload influenced the initial decision not to jail the males.
Justice de Jersey said the Court of Appeal had to impose fresh sentences that reflected the gravity of the rape of a 10-year-old girl balanced with the mitigating circumstances.
He said the appeals had to be allowed even though the sentences were essentially in accordance with the submissions of the prosecution.
“The prosecution must bear substantial responsibility for what occurred but the errors which attended the sentencing cannot be accounted for by the submissions of the prosecution,” he said. “The imposition of a proper sentence was ultimately the responsibility of the judge.”
He said that while the three adults should be jailed and two of the youths ordered into detention, the other four youths should be given the maximum three years’ probation with a conviction recorded.
He said this was in recognition of their efforts to move from negative peer pressure and rehabilitate themselves.
There is really not much else I want to say about this case that I have not already said in my previous posts on this matter here here here here here here here here and here It may be Justice delayed but that is always better than justice denied because a silly woman wanted to catch a plane 
A great day for justice Comrades
