       She suffered brain damage and is now “locked in for life” from the outside world — unable to walk, talk or feed herself.

       Her heartbroken mum Nikki, 47, said: “This has wrecked Angel’s life.

       "She will never have a job or be a mum. She’ll never hang out with her brothers, sisters or friends again.

       “And it’s wrecked our lives too. She needs round-the-clock, 24-hour care. That is our lives now.

       "He’ll be out in less than three years. 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.”

       Angel’s dad Patrick, 53, insisted: “I’ll never forgive him for what he has done.

       "He has stolen everything from Angel and paid such a small price with that sentence.”

       Bowskill, 20, was filmed grabbing Angel “like a rag doll”, carrying her across a busy street and throwing her into the back of a Transit, which sped off.

       Moments later the petite college student fell from the vehicle. Bowskill was convicted of kidnap and coercive behaviour but cleared of pushing Angel out of the van.

       He was sentenced to a total of seven and a half years in prison on Monday and will serve half his sentence behind bars — three years and nine months.

       Taking into account time already served on remand he will become eligible for release in June 2024.

       Angel’s family said they are outraged that Bowskill got just two years for the kidnap — even though the offence carries a maximum sentence of life.

       They said they planned to call for a review of the kidnap sentence, saying it was “unduly lenient”.

       And they added they were surprised by the sentence when the judge seemed to recognise the serious consequences of the abduction.

       Although it can carry a life term, kidnapping currently has no sentencing guidelines, which the family think worked in Bowskill’s favour.

       Angel loved life, she was so full of life and had so much to look forward to. She dreamed of being a forensic scientist for the police.

       Dad Patrick

       Angel’s dedicated parents, both cleaners, from Loughborough, Leics, say they now face a lifetime of bills running into tens of thousands of pounds to care for her at home.

       Mum-of-six Nikki said: “For weeks the doctors would not believe Angel would survive. I’ll never forget the face of the medic who told me she was going to die.

       “I felt like my heart had been ripped from my chest. The world was spinning. I couldn’t eat for a week — I lived off water.

       "Even now we don’t know how long Angel has and what quality of life we can give her.”

       Patrick said: “Angel loved life, she was so full of life and had so much to look forward to. She dreamed of being a forensic scientist for the police.

       “But she’s had all her hopes and dreams, and our hopes and dreams for her, snatched away.

       "I’ll never walk her down the aisle. We’ll never see her graduate or get her dream job — or help her move house.

       "We’ll never have little Angel grandchildren from her. And we’ll never enjoy her cheeky sense of fun.”

       Angel was found lying in the carriageway of the A6 near her Loughborough home on September 27, 2020. It is believed that she had initially tried to flee the van — before being kidnapped.

       Bowskill and a pal were cleared over the injuries from the van fall after both claimed Angel jumped because he had ended their relationship.

       But Angel’s family said the footage was proof that Angel wanted to ditch Bowskill and was trying to get away from him.

       They say she was fed-up at his controlling messages calling her “a slag” and even slapping her with a curfew when he was behind bars.

       In his sentencing remarks, Judge Timothy Spencer QC told Bowskill at Leicester crown court: “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.”

       For weeks the doctors would not believe Angel would survive. I’ll never forget the face of the medic who told me she was going to die.

       But Judge Spencer said he had also taken into account his youth and immaturity when sentencing.

       He said he agreed with Bowskill’s own barrister’s description of him as a “little boy in man’s shoes”.

       Judge Spencer told him: “You are an immature 20-year-old.”

       Bowskill, of Syston, Leics, was cleared of causing GBH with in- tent, but convicted of kidnapping Angel and jailed for two years.

       He was further convicted of controlling and coercive behaviour and sentenced to three years and three months in jail, to run consecutively.

       A jury also found him guilty of perverting the course of justice, for which he was sentenced to two years and three months in jail, also to run consecutively.

       His pal Rocco Sansome, 20, of Loughborough, was found guilty of kidnap and sentenced to 21 months in jail.

       He admitted possessing a controlled drug of Class B (cannabis) and was jailed for seven days, to run concurrently.

       He also admitted driving while unfit through cannabis use and was slapped with 12-month driving ban.

       Farah Nazeer, chief executive of Women's Aid, said last night: “The fact that the perpetrator could be out so soon shows that we urgently need domestic abuse training for all judges.

       “This sends out a dangerous message about how seriously we take violence against women in this country — judges need to send a clear message that domestic abuse will not be tolerated."

       JUDGE’S ODD DECISIONS

       THE judge blasted over the jail term given to Angel’s kidnapper has a history of bizarre sentencing.

       In August last year, judge Timothy Spencer QC freed a Far Right terrorist with the instructions: “Go and read the classics.”

       He was slammed by charity Hope Not Hate after instructing white supremacist Ben John, 22, who was found with bomb manuals, to read Jane Eyre and others.

       The judge told him: “Start with Pride And Prejudice and Dickens’ A Tale Of Two Cities. Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night”. He added: “Think about Hardy. Think about Trollope.”

       Earlier this month, the appeal court ruled extremist John must serve two years in prison. And in April last year, judge Spencer let serial burglar Carl Walters free so long as he didn’t break the law, got a job and didn’t take drugs for a six-month period.
