15 Year Old Girl Jailed With 20 Men, Raped Relentlessly

A 15-YEAR-old girl was put in a Brazilian jail cell with more than 20 men, and for a month was raped relentlessly and forced to have sex for food, human rights groups say.

 

"She was raped from day one'' at the jail in Para state, a Children and Adolescent Defence Centre (Cedeca) spokeswoman said.

 

The number of men in the cell varied from 20 to 34 while the girl, a robbery suspect, was there.

 

"She was raped innumerable times and forced to exchange sexual relations for food,'' said Miere Cohen, the president of the Order of Brazilian Lawyers Human Rights Commission.

 

Media reports of the case have sparked outrage across Brazil, especially since it closely followed an earlier incident of a 23-year-old woman who was also jailed in Para state for one month together with 70 men.

 

The teenager, whose identity was not disclosed, was arrested in Para state capital Abaetetuba on October 21 on suspicion of robbery and put behind bars at a local police station jailhouse until an anonymous caller tipped off the media.

 

"Nobody really knows what she was charged with. She was a suspect in a robbery but police were unable to tell us which robbery. There was no formal charge,'' Ms Cohen said.

 

The girl's lawyers said police at one point said they believed the suspect was not under-age.

 

"Whether she was 15, 20, 50, 80 or 100 doesn't matter. A woman should not have been kept in a jail cell with men,'' Para Governor Ana Julia Carepa said.

 

She said she would mete out "exemplary punishment'' in the case.

 

The girl, whose family is very poor, "is distraught and very afraid, but said she's able to recognise the police officers who locked her up and the detainees who raped her. She's ready to talk", the Cedeca spokeswoman said.

They're good at football, though... :blank:

 

Hang on, what? Third World? Not really... :shakehead

 

 

Brazil is poor, this example shows that I would not trust their government/police and they have a high rate of criminals. That sounds like third world/underdeveloped country to me. I know there is a nice term for "third world country" but I don't remeber it in english. BUT this term fits for Brazil! Check WikiPedia or something similar - Brazil is among the third world countries.

"third world country" = developing country ;)

 

I recently read that Brazil is close to getting to 2nd world standards to stay with this term due to lack of a better description.

Now how much more fucked up is the situtation in the even poorer developing countries..? :shakehead

 

 

Really awful story but I think that does happen more often there so it's good something finally gets out.
