Quote:
A California high school student who police said was gang raped in a two-and-a-half-hour assault outside a homecoming dance remained hospitalized in stable condition Monday, three days after she was flown from the attack scene in critical condition.

"Based on witness statements and suspect statements and also physical evidence, we know that she was raped by at least four suspects committing multiple sex acts," said Lt. Mark Gagan of the police department in Richmond, California.

Investigators said as many as 15 people, all males, stood around watching the assault but did not call police or help the victim, a 15-year-old student at Richmond High School in suburban San Francisco.

"As people announced over time that this was going on, more people came to see and some actually participated," Gagan said.

That is disgusting! I look forward to hearing more about this case, and seeing the perpetrators punished. But, I see nothing being swept under the rug.

From CNN:

As of late Monday, two suspects had been arrested in the case and a third was being questioned.

"There is one individual in custody who has made some spontaneous statements that have led me to believe that he is culpable for what happened," Richmond police Lt. Johan Simon said.

Nineteen-year-old Manuel Ortega, described as a former student at the school, was arrested soon after he fled the scene and will face charges of rape, robbery and kidnapping, police said.

A 15-year-old was later arrested and charged with one count of felony sexual assault. A third teenager was being interviewed, according to Lt. Mark Gagan of the police department in Richmond, California."

Ah, another idiot unable to cope with feelings of inferiority about where they live trying to feel better about what a loser they are by pointing out the flaws of others as if the same thing didn't happen where they live. Must be Tuesday.

BELLIL (through translator): There was a trial in Lille where a 13- year-old girl was gang raped by 80 men. Yes. Sometimes it's 80 or 50 or 10. It's absolutely terrible.
