Two-year jail sentence for teen who raped "good Samaritan" (16)
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: He said there had to be a custodial element to Laughlin's sentence, due to the seriousness of the offence and the effect on the victim, but that there was a substantial suspended period during which he would be supervised. Mr Justice White imposed a five year sentence with the final three years suspended on strict conditions.
