Angel Lynn: Court to review pair's kidnap sentences
The Sentence given to A Man who kidnapped his then girlfriend before she was seriously hurt in a fall will be reviewed, it has been confirmed.
Chay Bowskill bundled Angel Lynn into a Van before she was found injured on the A6 near Loughborough in September 2020.
Bowskill's sentence of seven-and-a-half years was assessed under the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme.
A spokesman for the Attorney General said The Court of Appeal would now decide if the term should be changed.
Miss Lynn, who was aged 19 at The Time , fell from The Van as it was travelling at about 60mph (97km/h) along the dual carriageway and suffered severe brain injuries, which she has still not recovered from.
Bowskill, of Empingham Drive, Syston, Leicestershire, and his friend Rocco Sansome, 20 - who had driven The Van - were sentenced for kidnap in January.
Sansome, of Wanlip Lane, Birstall, was sentenced to 21 months in a young offenders' institution.
His sentence will also be reviewed.
Miss Lynn, now 21, is receiving 24-hour specialist care in a rehabilitation centre.
Her mother Nikki: " They have got no idea what they have done to My Family . "
The Attorney General 's spokesman said: " I can confirm the Solicitor General has referred the sentences of Chay Bowskill and Rocco Sansome to The Court of Appeal as he agrees that they appear unduly lenient.
" It is now for The Court to decide whether to increase their sentences. "
The Solicitor General, Alex Chalk QC MP, said: " The horrendous case of Angel Lynn, who was The Victim of sustained abuse by her partner, Chay Bowskill, culminated in her suffering life-changing injuries.
" I Wish to express my sympathies to her family. I have referred The Sentence of Chay Bowskill, and that of his accomplice Rocco Sansome, to The Court of Appeal as they appear to me to be unduly lenient.
" It is now for The Court to decide whether to increase the sentences. "
