Here's another story of a gang rape of a 13-year old girl in the Netherlands, allegedly committed by 8 Turkish boys. The story so far: they threatened her last Monday, because they did not want her to associate with Moroccan boys. They allegedly forcibly entered her parents' house on Wednesday morning (she had absconded from school since she was afraid), where they then tied her up, raped her, and also stabbed her in the leg with a knife. And they also tried to administer drugs to her. And then before leaving, for good measure, they set a fire.

A pretty horrible story, yet again. Yet it is so brazen, so mind-boggling that I have trouble believing that this actually happened. So far there has been no confirmation that this actually occurred, only the filing of the report with the police. The whole thing is so extreme and horrific that perhaps I am trying to find a rationalization that will allow me not to believe it. I hope it's not true. Further investigation will tell.
