A 14-year-old allegedly raped by several men may have been given drugs. The investigators assume that after the evaluation of a toxicological investigation.
Various drugs have been detected in the blood of the girl, said police and prosecutors in Ulm. The result suggests that the girl should have been made docile with the drugs.
Five men are suspected of abusing the 14-year-old. Three of them, aged 15, 16 and 26, are in custody, and two are free at the age of 14 and 24.
The men were interrogated and their cell phones were evaluated, a spokesman for the prosecutor said. He did not comment on whether the young men commented on the allegations.
Drugs should have been administered in the apartment
The 14-year-old was said to have been abused on Halloween in the southern Alb-Donau-Kreis by the young men. According to the investigating authorities, the girl had already drunk alcohol when she met one of the later suspects in Ulm.
The 14-year-old accompanied him and the other men to an apartment in the Illertal valley. There the drugs should have been administered to her. The alleged perpetrators are according to police to asylum seekers. The parents had therefore assumed that the girl was with his girlfriends.
The girl told the parents and then the police to have been raped, the investigators said. Last Friday, officials searched four homes in Stuttgart, a community in Filstal, and a community in Illertal.
