Three jailed for gang rape of schoolgirl want sentences reduced
Stage: Appeal
Outcome: She sentenced Ferreira Filho to an 18-year prison term while Da Rocha, who had raped the girl twice, was given a 20 year jail term. In Ferreira Filho's case, Mr Ó Lideadha said that while the offending was "very serious", the headline sentence of 20 years was "out of the appropriate range".
