Law officials reviewing five-year sentence of rapist Sean Robinson

Robinson forced a woman to have sex with him under threat of killing the man with whom she was on a first date

The government's top law officials are reviewing a jail sentence handed to a man who forced a woman to have sex with him to save the life of a man with whom she was on a first date.

Downing Street said on Thursday the case of Sean Robinson had been referred to the attorney general's office under the unduly lenient sentencing scheme after Robinson was given a five-year jail term for the attack.
