Swedish boy claims rape by girl gang

TORSAS, Sweden, Oct. 12 (UPI) -- A reported rape of a teenage boy by a gang of girls was under investigation Friday by police in Sweden.

The unusual incident allegedly occurred in the town of Torsas and was reported to police by the boy’s mother, The Local said.

Police said the 17-year-old told them the four girls jumped him Monday night while walking home. Since Torsas is a small town, he was able to identify at least one of the alleged attackers.

In another twist, the boy reported he was beaten up later that day by two male youths. And, according to The Local, the victim’s mother was the target of threats on a local youth Web site.
