⚠️ OUTRAGEOUS LENIENCY ⚠️
They laughed as they filmed themselves taking it in turns to brutally rape a barely conscious 19YO young woman in a car park.
It's taken 3 years for this poor woman to get justice - and today these two scumbags were handed JUST THREE YEARS PRISON EACH
⚠️ NORTHERN IRELAND: Two men who filmed themselves attacking an almost unconscious woman in a Dungannon car park are now delaying their own sentencing - claiming they suddenly "can’t understand English."
Alcino Soares, 20, and Luis Dos Martins Mariano, 19, pleaded guilty to r-ping the woman, laughing as they took turns and filmed it.
They were due to be sentenced last week - but the hearing collapsed and was pushed back 3 months after Soares insisted he needed a rare Tetum interpreter.
This, despite Soares:
• having several Facebook profiles in English
• reading his police interview transcript in English
• attending school in English
• friends confirming he spoke fluent English
• telling police: "She wanted it" and "I didn’t r-pe anyone. No way, man"
• previously appearing in court with no interpreter
Even Judge Richard Green called it out:
"He appears to have communicated very well without an interpreter."
Meanwhile, their victim - subjected to a horrific attack, described limp and "ragdoll-like" in the footage - must wait even longer for justice.
⁉️ Why are courts allowing dangerous offenders to stall justice with blatant interpreter games?

Make the Subject- Unduly Lenient Sentence Request
Details:
Names - Luis Dos Martins Mariano and Alcino Soares
Sentencing date: 1/10/26
Court - Downpatrick Crown Court
Offences - Rape
Sentence - 3 years prison, 3 years on licence
3 years in jail for each of these men is outrageous leniency. This was a sustained brutal attack on a vulnerable young woman. This victim has suffered enormously already and her trauma has been exacerbated by a legal battle that has been stalled and disrupted willfully at every turn for over three years. This young woman's trauma will last a lifetime and three years prison for each of these horrific perpetrators- who laughed and filmed their appalling attack - is completely unacceptable. This is NOT justice.
