Support for the Crown's decision to appeal the home detention sentence handed down to teenage rapist Jayden Meyer.

The 18-year-old is serving nine months home detention, after being convicted of raping four girls and sexually violating a fifth.

Meyer's victims spoke out about his sentence, and hundreds of people took to the streets in protest.

Sexual violence educator and survivor Rachel Taane told Kate Hawkesby the Crown Law Office's appeal is a welcome move.

She says it's an awesome start that gives hope.

The appeal is set to be heard next month.
