Three French teens are suspected of assaulting and raping a 12-year-old Jewish girl in the Paris area with an antisemitic motive, according to French media.
Le Parisien reports that the girl and her parents filed a police report in the capital’s suburb of Courbevoie. They accused the girl’s ex-boyfriend, 12, and two other boys, aged 13 and 14, of leading her into a shed where they beat her and raped her, all while threatening to kill her and insulting her for her religion.
Prosecutors confirmed the incident to the paper. The three suspects are currently under arrest. A gynecological examination confirmed the girl was raped.
Questioned on the allegations, the suspects allegedly admitted to some of the facts, while the former boyfriend said he was angry the girl had ostensibly hidden her religion from him.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
