Austrian authorities are investigating the alleged multiple abuse and rape of a girl in Vienna. A total of seventeen young people are suspected, as the spokeswoman for the Viennese public prosecutor’s office explained to the German news agency.
Police questioned the suspects on Thursday but have not yet arrested them. One of the young people is being investigated for alleged rape, the rest for alleged serious sexual abuse of a minor, the spokeswoman said. So the girl is younger than 14 years old.
Due to the ongoing investigation and to protect the victim, the Public Prosecution Service has not provided any further information about the girl involved or the crimes that allegedly took place last year. The Kronen Zeitung first reported on the case.
