CALGARY — Two brothers with fetal alcohol syndrome who were sentenced Friday to 12 years for raping a teenage girl more than a dozen times should be kept in prison as long as possible to protect society, a Crown prosecutor said. The FASD report put them at the high end of fetal alcohol syndrome. “They fell between the cracks of life.”The brothers pleaded guilty in October 2015 to sexual assault, kidnapping, uttering threats and robbery. “Certainly one of the most depraved offences that I’ve ever been involved with, just unmitigated evil, frankly,” Hak said Friday. Tests revealed that both suffer from severe fetal alcohol syndrome, have poor cognitive function and struggle with mental illness.
