BBC: Brazilian police are hunting more than 30 men suspected of raping a teenage girl in Rio de Janeiro, and of putting video of the attack on social media.
The girl, 16, believes she was doped after going to her boyfriend’s house on Saturday and says she woke up in a different house, surrounded by the men.
Arrest warrants have been issued, including one for the boyfriend.
The assault has provoked an online campaign against what campaigners call a culture of rape in Brazil.
Conflicting versions of the story are still coming in, but the alleged rape is said to have taken place in a poor community in western Rio over the weekend.
According to a statement she is reported to have given to police, she woke up on Sunday, naked and wounded, and made her way home.
Only days later did she find out that some of the alleged rapists had put images of the attack on Twitter. MORE
SNIP: If they keep this up, rape will be introduced as an Olympic event.
A while ago an European Model type posited that society ‘needs to teach men not to rape’.
Here’s how you teach men not to rape:
Hang them,
Hang those who watched.
Hang those who filmed it and posted it
Do it in public
That will be a start
Oh yeah, this is a great country to host the Olympics. It will end badly. Condolences to the poor girl involved and hopefully an intimate affair with a rope for the bastards who did this.
I would like to give Lazlo the first million thumbs up for his comment. Ladies, arm yourselves.
Lazlo, I didn’t realize until after I hit the thumbs up what I did. I thought I was hitting on the full 5 TU, but accidentally didn’t. So sorry.
Wow, who knew Brasil was a muslime country?
Rapists should be fully disarmed!
Those who participate by witnessing, filming or in other ways not helping the victim (male or female), should be partially disarmed.
When they’re caught, dip their testicles in acid, lop off their tongues, and surgically remove their eyelids. Too harsh?
I wholeheartedly endorse castration and lengthy sentences. Just think of the new crop of sopranos that will show up on American Prison Idol.
But but but Brazil is a socialist paradise who just elected a woman president (and had the good sense to impeach and remove her) and it’s full of people of color from south of the border. HOW can it be a “rape culture” when only “white” male Americans create such things?
