A Belgian teenage girl was reportedly raped by her boyfriend’s friends in a forest. According to media reports, all ten defendants are minors between the ages of 11 and 16. According to the public prosecutor’s office, the girl was abused up to three times by ten minors between April 2nd and 6th over the Easter holidays.

The 14-year-old was reportedly lured to a wooded area called Kabouterbos in Kortrijk, West Flanders (five miles from the French border) by her teenage boyfriend during the Easter holidays.

She was abused by several of his friends. According to some sources, she was held there for two days.

In addition, the attack was also filmed on their smartphones and posted on social media.

The group took turns abusing the victim and everyone participated “to a greater or lesser extent,” according to a Belgian media New page said in his report.

The medium also reported that the suspects were probably young people with a migrant background. While six of the suspects were housed in a closed institution, the other four were under house arrest.

Tom Janssens from the West Flemish public prosecutor’s office told VRT News: “The youngest suspect is 11 years old. Because the suspects are so young, we don’t release much information. However, they have all been identified and arrested and action has been taken.” Our attention is now primarily on the victim.

Meanwhile, the victim receives expert care and advice after his ordeal.
