Due to new sentencing guidelines Sean Hogg was given community payback for raping a 13-year-old.
The teenager, now 18, said CCTV was fitted in her home so she could see who was coming into her street and she would not leave the house without one of her grandparents."The day my grandmother told me Sean Hogg had been found guilty of rape I thought there may be a chance of being happy again. I knew he was going to go to jail," she said."I felt glad I reported it as I felt he needed to pay for what he had done," she said.
However due to the new sentencing guidelines, Hogg, 21, from Hamilton in South Lanarkshire, was ordered to carry out 270 hours of unpaid work. He was also put under supervision and added to the sex offenders register for three years."In my head I thought he's going to come for me, he's going to want to hurt me," she said. "I was back to being that 13-year-old wee girl, scared of the unknown.
"It was even in the Washington Times, with the people of America asking what's going on in that country," the victim said. "I've seen JK Rowling saying men will think the first time is free. How is this going to help girls in the future who are raped?
