Three arrested over rapes of teenagers
Three of a group of six men were arrested on Wednesday after a 17-year-old filed a complaint with police accusing the men of raping her and a friend in Takeo province’s Prey Kabbas district on January 18. According to police, two of the six men took the victims to the resort, where four other men were drinking sour wine. She said both women were raped before the men left the scene. At first, the woman did not want to lodge a complaint because it wouldn’t be good for their reputation, but the rapists had already told other villagers about what they had done. After the complaint was filed, police arrested the three men, who were sent to the provincial court after confessing to the rape.
