Another boy, then 13, was also convicted for his involvement in the second attack.
The attorney general is to review the youth rehabilitation order sentences given by the judge, who had said last week he wanted to avoid criminalising the young boys.
Pelicot said she saluted the strength and courage of one of the young girls for speaking out after the attack.
She waived her legal right to anonymity in her own trial, saying: “I want all women who have been raped to say: Madame Pelicot did it, I can too.”
One of the victims, who were 15 at the time of the attack, said that the decision to spare the offenders custodial sentences was like a rock straight in my face.
She really salutes the girl strength and the decision they made because she know that it’s an incredibly difficult decision.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has described the case as appalling, adding that the two girls had shown extraordinary bravery and strength in heinous circumstances.
