NZ gang in online underage rape claim
Print Edition
New Zealand police said they were investigating a gang of young males who boasted online about stupefying underage girls with alcohol then having group sex with them.
In a case that has raised concerns about how to police online bullying, Prime Minister John Key said yesterday the claims made by the Auckland-based group were “abhorrent” but were difficult to prosecute without hard evidence.
“It’s just extremely disturbing and disgusting behavior and these young guys should grow up,” Key said.
The group, called “Roast Busters” and mostly reportedly aged in their late teens, bragged about using social media to meet girls as young as 13 then have sex with them after plying them with drinks, TV3 reported.
It said the men named their alleged victims in videos posted on a Facebook page, which was taken down over the weekend after it was the subject of media inquiries.
One underage girl, her identity obscured, told the TV station that the group preyed on her after giving her so much alcohol she kept blacking out. “You could say I got raped. I had sex with three guys at one time.”
