A 16-year-old girl was reportedly raped by at least 30 pedophiles when she was in an intoxicated state.
The victim, who was not named, was assaulted inside a room at the Red Sea Hotel in Israel’s coastal resort of Eilat.
The news was confirmed by the police.
The girl approached the authorities last Friday.
2 suspects have been arrested by the authorities.
The girl arrived at the resort in the earlier weeks of August. Authorities said she was not a guest at the hotel.
The girl was spending time with her girlfriends and some male friends at the hotel, said the authorities.
Investigations revealed that the girl needed to use the bathroom, but instead, she was taken to a hotel room and was raped.
Some of the men reportedly filmed the horrible attack.
The door of the room was open when the incident happened, but the friends of the girl could not do anything to stop.
A friend of the girl told the investigators that one of the attackers was a medic that wanted to help the girl when she was extremely drunk.
But instead of helping her, the medic took advantage of the incident and slept with her when she was “out of control”.
The first suspect was arrested after messages between him and the teenager revealed the video documentation of the assault.
However, the pedophile denied communicating with the victim and said that someone was using his smartphone.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a statement about the incident, where they said:
This is shocking, there is no other word. This is not only a crime against the girl, this is a crime against humanity itself that is worthy of all condemnation and those responsible must be brought to justice.
Benny Gantz, the Defense Minister of Israel, said:
From yesterday afternoon, I’ve been trying, and failing, to understand: What is a man who is standing on a crowded line with dozens of others, on the way to a room where a young, disoriented girl is lying down, trying to prove? The police investigation is still under way, but it’s important that I convey a message to those who participated or bore witness to this case or others: The only thing you’ve proven is what depravity of your soul and morality you are capable of. Before the criminal aspect, there is a moral soul-searching that must be done here. And to the complainant, it’s important that I say: My heart is with you, you are not alone.
The girl underwent a medical examination that will confirm the rape and other claims that are being sent out by the girl.
The police are awaiting results.
Authorities said 30 people were involved in the horrible incident.
