Germany gang rape: 11 men on trial over attack on woman, 18



Eleven men, most of them from Syria, have gone on trial in Germany over the gang rape of an 18-year-old woman last October.

The defendants, aged between 18 and 30, were due to appear at Freiburg district court in northwestern Germany charged with raping the young woman outside a nightclub or failing to prevent the attack.

The suspects comprise of one German citizen, eight Syrians, two Algerians and an Iraqi.

The defendants are accused of spiking the victim’s drink inside the nightclub then subjecting her to a gang rape outside.

According to the prosecution, the woman had previously been offered a tablet of the drug Ecstasy in the club and an unknown substance had been mixed into the drink. The victim was thus defenceless and helpless and went to police the following day.
