A teenage girl who was brutally raped by at least 33 men in Brazil
has finally spoken out about the sad ordeal. In video that circulated
online, the girl is filmed being brutally r*ped by 33 men who wanted to
humiliate her.
The 16-year-old was attacked at her 19-year-old boyfriend’s house
in Rio de Janeiro around 1am last weekend when she woke up and found
herself surrounded by more than 30 men. They were all armed and at least
some of them were involved in her rape.
Later, a 40-second video of the attack surfaced online on
Wednesday, with the caption: ‘Pounded the girl — get it? Hahaha.’
However, the tweets and video has now been removed on twitter.
In a brief interview with O Globo newspaper, the 16-year-old said: ‘I want them to await the justice of God. I feel like trash.’
‘It’s the stigma that hurts me the most. It is as if people are saying “It’s her fault. She was using scanty clothes”.’
She added that she wants ‘people to know that it is not the woman’s fault. You can’t blame a robbery victim, for being robbed.’
Police have now issued arrest warrants for four men and the search continues.
The police have now issued arrest warrants for four men while
looking for the others. The girl’s boyfriend and another man are accused
of rape, while the other two face charges for uploading the video and
pictures on social media.
The recent incident has seen Brazilians take to the streets to
protest against the rape and also rallied on social media with the
hashtag #EstuproNuncaMais (RapeNeverAgain).
The girl also thanked supporters herself on Facebook with the message: ‘It’s not my uterus that hurts, it’s my soul, because there are such cruel people who are not punished.’
‘I really thought I’d be judged badly. But I wasn’t. We could all go through this one day.’
