Three schoolgirls, aged 13, ‘gang-raped after being lured by a new flavoured vape’ as four boys & one girl arrested
THREE schoolgirls were allegedly gang-raped at a hotel after they were lured into smoking a new flavoured vape.
Four teenage boys and one girl, aged between 13 and 17, have been arrested after the alleged attack on the 13-year-old girls in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia.
The suspects were detained after one of the victims reported the assault to cops on April 27 – a day after the alleged incident, police said.
After the first girl came forward, her two friends also told police they had been gang-raped by four boys who were unknown to them.
The teenage boys, who were allegedly helped by a 17-year-old girl in luring the victims to the hotel, have reportedly been remanded in custody until May 5.
According to The Star, police chief Mohd Zaidi Abdullah said the five suspects approached the three victims at a shopping centre in the city earlier in the day.
He said they had persuaded them to hang out at their hotel.
When they arrived, they were allegedly lured into smoking a vape, and later passed out.
“While at the house, the three girls were lured into smoking a new flavoured vape,” Mohd Zaidi said.
“They later lost consciousness.”
When the victims woke up in the the night, they found themselves naked and the four boys and girl had disappeared, he added.
“All three victims suspected they were raped,” he said, with all three filing police reports.
“All the suspects, including the girl, aged 13 to 17, were arrested around the city and Telipok Ria in Tuaran district.”
They have been arrested on suspicion of rape and pimping.
