Teenagers committed a brutal attack on a 12-year-old student. The girl was raped and beaten by several teenagers in an abandoned building in Paris. The 12-year-old's boyfriend received a video recording from the perpetrators, which included a short message.
As reported by the British service "Daily Mail," the 12-year-old's boyfriend received a video depicting the gang rape. The video contained a single message: "Look at your girlfriend." The recording showed the teenager crying and in pain. It turned out that at least one of the three attackers was known to the boyfriend.
They raped the 12-year-old; they have been charged
Two boys have been charged with very serious crimes, including gang rape, death threats, and anti-Semitic insults and violence.
According to "Daily Mail" reports, prosecutors emphasize that if found guilty, they face a maximum sentence of 10 years' imprisonment. They would serve the sentence in a juvenile detention center. This penalty constitutes half the sentence an adult perpetrator of gang rape could receive.
The third suspect, who is 12 years old, has been given the status of a witness to the rape. He has simultaneously been charged with related crimes. Since he has not yet turned 13, if found guilty, he will be under supervision in a selected educational institution.
Brutal rape in France
As reported by "Daily Mail," one of the attackers was the girl’s ex-boyfriend. According to her account, the teenagers forcibly dragged her into a shed as she was walking through a park to her home. Then a third minor joined them, insulting the girl because of her faith by using profanities and calling her a "dirty Jew."
According to the preliminary testimony of the 12-year-old, she was beaten and thrown to the ground. The perpetrators threatened to burn her by holding a lighter to her face. The girl was then raped. The attackers told her she would be killed if she reported it to the police.
The teenager returned home and told her parents what had happened. A gynecological examination confirmed that the girl had been raped multiple times. Soon after, the three boys were arrested. According to the media, the girl's ex-boyfriend was angry that the victim had not told him she was Jewish.
