Gang rape is a horror no human should experience, be it a woman or a man. While the world is accustomed to reading stories of sexual exploitation of woman, the sexual abuse of men hardly gets the attention it deserves. But when it does, it sends chills down your spine.
In a recent shocking incident, a 23-year-old man in South Africa was drugged, kidnapped and repeatedly raped by three women in a hotel room. The victim was found traumatized and exhausted in Nellmapius‚ east of Pretoria, after being dumped in a field semi-naked. Later, he managed to flag down a passing car and escaped. The police are still trying to trace his assailants.
According to the South African police service, the victim hailed a 15-seater communal taxi on the night of May 26 but he had no idea that the three female co-passengers would turn out to be his rapists. Captain Colette Weilbach, the South African Police Service spokesperson, told South African newspaper Times Live:
“En route to town, the taxi driver changed direction. The young man was then ordered to come to the front. One of the women then allegedly injected him with an unknown substance and he passed out. He stated that he woke up in an unfamiliar room on a single bed.
“The female suspects then allegedly forced the man to drink an energy drink‚ before taking turns raping him numerous times a day. On Sunday afternoon he was dropped off in an open field in Benoni. The man was very traumatized by his ordeal and received medical treatment.”.
