Seventeen teenagers are suspected of having sexually assaulted a twelve-year-old girl “several times a week for several months” in Austria. The events took place in a disadvantaged neighborhood in the south of Vienna “between February and June 2023, in stairs, toilets, a garage, at the hotel or at the home of the perpetrators,” a police official said.

The suspects, most of them minors, are of Syrian, Turkish, Italian, Bulgarian and Serbian origin.
