Police in Brazil are searching for more than 30 men who are suspected of raping a teenage girl and then posting a video of the attack to social media.

The girl reportedly went to her boyfriend’s house in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday and regained consciousness later to find herself surrounded by men.

Police have issued arrest warrants for 30 men including the boyfriend, but campaigners say the incident is another example of what they term a ‘culture of rape’ which exists in Brazil.

According to reports, the teenager made her way home after the attack, and later discovered images of her rape on Twitter.




A 40-second video was also widely shared and abusive comments left until the accounts involved were suspended.

Campaign groups have called for mass protests in the next few days. United Nations Women said authorities must investigate the case while, where possible, guarding the privacy of the victim.
