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.
