Original Note:
The suspended sentence is due to Soami having been 15 at the time of the crime and being found to have committed serious crimes but not rape, not because he is non-white as the post suggests. The UK Sentencing Council requires such a sentence be carried out ‘on license’. https://www.gov.uk/types-of-prison-sentence/sentences-children-young-people https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-tyne-68446855
