One of the suspects filmed parts of the attack and later uploaded the video of the victim, who is aged under 15, to social media.

The horrifying incident took place in a forest in Uppsala, a town in south-east Sweden, during the night of October 24 and 25.

Prosecutors say the boy was forced into the woods at knife-point before being subjected to serious sexual assault for more than an hour.
