Five Syrian men have been arrested in connection with the alleged gang rape of a teenage girl, the Aachen public prosecutor’s office confirmed.
The victim’s ex-boyfriend reportedly convinced her to meet him but once she got into his car, three other men joined and together with two additional perpetrators allegedly raped the girl in an apartment. The ex-boyfriend is said not to have been involved.
Police, including a special task force, carried out a raid after the victim reported the crime. Officers confiscated a Taser and a pistol, which the suspects allegedly used to threaten the victim. Four men were arrested immediately, while the fifth suspect later surrendered. An investigating judge has remanded all five in custody.
