Girl, 14, 'gang-raped by up to 12 children aged 11-16 screamed "stop" at her ... trends now

A teenage girl who was allegedly gang-raped by up to a dozen children aged 11 to 16 reportedly screamed 'stop' at her attackers.

The girl, aged 14, was abused by the group of boys on three occasions between April 2 and April 6 over the Easter holidays, prosecutors say. 

The main suspect - the girl's 14-year-old boyfriend - allegedly took the girl with him to a wooded area called Kabouterbos in Kortrijk, West Flanders, around 6pm on April 2 after they spent the day at a fairground. 

Once there, the boyfriend is said to have raped his young partner in front of the others before he 'loaned her out' to his friends to sexually assault her as well while the youngest of the boys, an 11-year-old, was used as a lookout, reports claim.

Prosecutors arrested ten suspects aged between 11 and 16 - all reported by local outlets to be boys of North African or Somali descent - and hauled them in for interrogation, but new reports say up to a dozen boys were involved in the attack.

The interrogations revealed that the girl shouted 'stop' when the teenage boys assaulted her, with one 14-year-old suspect saying that she 'grimaced' and that he 'saw she was in pain', local outlet HLN reports.

Other than asking her assailants to 'stop', the girl reportedly said very little during the attack, while she appeared dizzy, turned pale and her eyelids seemed to close, according to statements.

Citing 'well placed sources', Belgian outlet Nieuwsblad described the boyfriend as a 'loverboy boy' type who deliberately allowed his friends to abuse his young partner.

'Lover boy' in this case is a term used to describe human traffickers who typically operate by trying to make their young victims fall in love with them.

But the boy denies that he 'lent out' his girlfriend to the other teenagers, and his lawyer said that 'further research is needed to clarify the facts'. 

Nieuwsblad said prosecutors turned up 'reprehensible behaviour' on the part of the suspects and 'revenge-mongering facts', citing the sources close to the investigation who said the alleged perpetrators showed 'a complete lack of sense of norms'. 

The girl is thought to have returned to the forest - a spot popular with mountain bikers - where she was raped, tormented and abused by the gang of minors twice while she was under the 'powerful' influence of her boyfriend, local media report.

The group took turns abusing the victim, and all participated 'to a greater or lesser extent,' according to Nieuwsblad. 

The victim was allegedly raped by at least four of the boys and touched by the others standing around them in a circle, while others filmed the attacks on their smartphones.

The footage and images of the alleged attack were also shared on social media, reportedly over Snapchat - an instant messaging app that allows users to easily share pictures and videos. None of the group urged their friends to stop the abuse, sources said.

The investigation has been conducted in the utmost secrecy by the West Flanders prosecutor's office to avoid any chance of family members of the victim or members of the public learning the identities of those involved.

Although the alleged attack took place in early April, the girl didn't come forward for several days out of fear of telling her parents and the police. It wasn't until April 25 that the police were able to arrest the suspects.

In total, ten boys were detained. Six of the suspects were placed in a closed institution, while the other four were placed under house arrest.

They have since been questioned - all simultaneously and separately, so that investigators can compare all statements. 

Citing its sources, Nieuwsblad said many of the statements given by the boys were contradictory, a number of the suspects blaming each other.

Some of the six minors placed in the institution appeared in juvenile court on Wednesday afternoon. It was reported that two were released on conditions.
