DUBAI (CNN) -- A court in Dubai sentenced two men Wednesday to 15 years in prison for the rape and kidnapping of a 15-year-old French boy.
The boy's mother, Veronique Robert, was visibly upset after the sentence was read and promised to appeal.
Robert said the sentence was too lenient, especially because one of her son's attackers was knowingly HIV-positive at the time of the rape. She said that made the crime tantamount to attempted murder. .......................
But Robert has said the case was botched from the start, beginning with her son's examination by a doctor who said her son son was gay. Homosexuality in Dubai is illegal, and the teen could have faced as much as a year in prison.
