Teens Allegedly Filmed 6-Hour Gang Rape of Girl: ‘Horrific’

In a distressing incident in Sydney, Australia, four teenagers have been charged with gang-raping a 17-year-old girl over a harrowing six-hour period. The Sydney Morning Herald, the Australian Broadcasting Company, and news.au.com have reported that the girl was initially approached by a 16-year-old boy at a shopping center. Following a conversation, the boy allegedly proceeded to sexually assault her after following her to her car. Shockingly, during this initial assault, the boy is said to have called three other teenagers to the scene.

As the assault unfolded, the girl requested to be taken to a park under the belief that she could exit the car there. However, upon reaching the park, two additional teenage males reportedly joined in the assault. Subsequently, a fourth teen joined the group after arriving in a separate vehicle, amplifying the traumatic ordeal. In a disturbing turn of events, snippets of video capturing the “horrific” assault were shared among the perpetrators as they drove around the area, as detailed by the Herald.

The repercussions of this abhorrent act were severe, resulting in the 16-year-old being apprehended on charges encompassing 24 offenses, including sexual intercourse without consent, on December 20. Similarly, a 14-year-old was arrested that same day and faced multiple charges of aggravated sexual assault in company. Fast forward to June 17, another arrest was made – this time involving an 18-year-old man, who was charged with nine counts of aggravated sexual assault in company. It’s important to note that the latter was a minor at the time of these alleged crimes.

Adding to the gravity of the situation, 19-year-old Adam Abdul-Hamid was also arrested on the same day and confronted with five counts of aggravated sexual assault in company; he is the only individual among the alleged offenders who can be publicly identified due to legal reasons. Abdul-Hamid’s legal representation has asserted his client’s innocence amidst these serious accusations. As the legal proceedings continue, it remains unclear whether any of the defendants have entered a plea in response to the charges they face.

This disturbing incident serves as a stark reminder of the prevalence of sexual assault and the importance of addressing such abhorrent acts within our society.
