Joke of a sentence. Five years, probably two and a half for good behaviour. If harsher sentences were imposed it may prove to be more of a deterrant to opportunistic rapes like this one. Having said that, much as I sympathise with the girl, I do think this is yet another example of how dangerous binge drinking can be - it can put you into scary situations. Why on earth were her friends not looking after her if she was this drunk?! It honestly terrifies me that things like this happen. People need to look after each other more on nights out, never mind arguing about whether or not the girl should have gotten so drunk - the reality is, people are not going to stop drinking because of a rape appearing in the news, but the opportunities for attacks like this may be lessened if people looked after each other on nights out, drunk OR sober, as it's important to note you can be attacked when sober too.
