(CNN) -- The attorney general in the Australian state of Queensland said Wednesday he is ordering an appeal of the sentences given to nine indigenous Australians who admitted gang-raping a 10-year-old girl but were not sent to jail.
In an interview with CNN, Kerry Shine also called "inexplicable" the judge's remarks which implied the girl was not forcibly raped. He said the prosecutor in the case had also been stood down pending a review of the case.
