A thug who left a 19-year-old girl brain damaged after kidnapping her is due to have his sentence reviewed with three years to go until he's free.
Angel Lynn suffered life-changing injuries after her ex-boyfriend, Chay Bowskill, and his friend Rocco Sansome kidnapped her.
The pair, both 20, were jailed on Thursday with Bowskill, of Empingham Drive, receiving a seven-and-a-half-year sentence while Sansome received 21 months at Leicester Crown Court.

But the Attorney General, Suella Braverman, has confirmed a complaint has been filed in regards to Bowskill's sentence, the Mirror reports.
The complaint will be reviewed with the legal chief deciding whether it will be referred to the Court of Appeal or not.
It comes after Angel's family declared they were "furious" at Bowskill's "unduly lenient" sentence.

The incident has left Angel unable to communicate, walk or feed herself while also requiring 24-hour care.
She received the injuries after exiting a speeding vehicle travelling at an estimated 60mph on the A6 towards Loughborough, Leicestershire - how she left the vehicle is still unclear.
Bowskill was cleared of "unintentionally causing her grievous bodily harm" due to the fact that it could not be proven how she left the vehicle.
Sansome, of Walnip Lane, Birstall, admitted to possession of cannabis and driving the van while unfit to drive from being under the influence of cannabis on the morning of the incident.
Judge Spencer noted that Sansome's role in the incident was less serious than Bowskill's.

The prosecution was unable to prove Angel was thrown or pushed out of the vehicle while the defence claimed she jumped or fell accidentally onto the road.
Bowskill was convicted of kidnapping alongside controlling and coercive behaviour towards Angel during their year-long relationship.
He was also found to have perverted the course of justice by seeking to persuade his own mother to retract or change a police statement she made against him.
Commenting on the sentence, Angel's mum Nikki, 47, told the Sun: "It makes me furious. What kind of message is that sending to monsters like him?
"He can be back out trying to wreck other women’s lives while my daughter is trapped forever."

Dad Patrick, 53, said he could never forgive Bowskill, adding: "He has stolen everything from Angel and paid such a small price with that sentence."
Sentencing at Leicester Crown Court, Judge Timothy Spencer QC told Bowskill: "She was a beautiful young woman who should have been enjoying the carefree years of her late-teens into early adulthood.
"You treated her in a vile way. She was belittled by you to a point where she must have felt worthless on a regular basis.
"You bombarded her with repulsive and degrading messages. You controlled her freedom of movement by a variety of means.
"She wasn't allowed any sort of life apart from you. I'm satisfied you meted out violence to her, causing bruising, on at least two occasions."
The judge added: "Were it not for the kidnapping, Angel Lynn wouldn't have been in the van, in which there was a high state of tension, travelling along the A6 at between 60 and 70mph and wouldn't have been in a position where she exited the van with devastating consequences.
"None of that would have befallen her had you not kidnapped her in the first place.
"The ultimate consequences cannot be ignored. It must also be set against the background of many months of controlling and coercive behaviour."
Bowskill will serve half his sentence - three years and nine months - behind bars and, taking into account time already served, he will be eligible for release in June 2024.
