US EditionLord Hermer declined to review ‘unduly lenient’ sentences for rapist and paedophile
- Attorney General Lord Hermer decided not to request an increased sentence in 2025 for a man who had been sentenced to 28 months related to a rape case in the UK.
- The decision sparked criticism during sentencing debates, highlighting that Lucy Connolly was sentenced to 31 months in prison for incitement to racial hatred following the Southport terror incident.
- Shadow home secretary Chris Philp criticized Lord Hermer for demonstrating extremely poor judgment and called on the Prime Minister to remove him from his position due to perceived leniency in judicial decisions.
- Philp highlighted the inconsistency in sentencing by noting that while a man received a 28-month sentence for rape, Lucy Connolly was given a longer prison term for posting an offensive tweet.
- The controversy highlights conflicts over sentencing guidelines and political influence on the Attorney General, amid ongoing demands for more effective measures to address crimes targeting women and girls.
