A 12-year-old Indian girl was “rented” out by her father for a price to at least 30 of his pedophile friends, who raped her and took her nude photos in the latest shocking report of a country plagued by stories of sexual harassment.
All the details of the girl’s horrific torture came to light after she talked to a counselor from a woman’s assistance group when her teachers realized a change in her behavior, convincing her to talk about what was going on at home, according to a report by MirrorOnline.
The poor girl, whose name cannot be disclosed due to legal reasons, explained how her dad forced her into a room where she was repeatedly raped by his friends.
It all began when her twisted father’s drunken friends started teasing and groping the girl in front of her parents in home. It was also reported that the girl’s mum was also violated by her dad and was similarly exposed to rape by men visiting house.
“Men would come and take my mother into the bedroom. I thought this was normal. And then my father pushed me into the room with strangers,’’ she said.
She was subjected to serial rape by at least 30 men every weekend in her family home for two years.
“I don’t remember any faces. It’s all a blur,” she said, unable to identify her rapists.
Authorities said that four men, including her dad, have been arrested and charged for rape, sexual abuse and using the child for pornographic purposes. The girl has been removed from the family home and placed in a shelter.
This horrific report comes just a week after a 23-year-old woman who was exposed to gang-rape and set ablaze by three of her rapists tragically died. Mass protests have erupted again across India and protesters urged authorities to do more to protect women from these attacks.
According to official figures, there could be as many as 40,000 cases of rape a year in India.
