[RT] A 16-year-old girl was raped by two Afghan men near a refugee camp in Bavaria, according to German police. A third one was prevented from sexually abusing the girl by a passerby.
According to a police statement, the teenager had gathered with a large group of people outside a refugee center in the upper Bavaria municipality of Höhenkirchen-Siegertsbrunn, located south of Munich.
She later proceeded to walk to the train station without the larger group, but with three Afghan asylum-seekers, who initially were part of the group, the statement says, adding that it was “when the assault … took place.”
Two of the men, aged 27 and 17, raped the girl behind a hedge in front of an abandoned building. A third Afghan refugee, 18, also attempted to rape the girl but was prevented from doing this by a passerby, who arrived at the scene and prompted the three Afghans to flee, the statement says.
Following the incident, police launched a “large-scale manhunt” on the assaulters, involving a helicopter search, and managed to detain them not far from the crime scene.
While the 27- and 17-year-old suspected perpetrators remain in custody, the third one walked free after a judge ruled the man did not pose any further threat or intended to flee.
Although the three men are asylum-seekers, they do not live at the refugee center near the scene of the rape, according to the German Merkur magazine. |
