Heinous crime video shocks Brazil

RIO DE JANEIRO Brazilian police are hunting more than 30 men suspected of raping a teenage girl in Rio de Janeiro, and of putting video of the attack on social media.
The girl, 16, believes she was doped after going to her companion’s house and says she woke up in a different house, surrounded by the men. Arrest warrants have been issued, including one for the boyfriend.
The assault has provoked an online campaign against what campaigners call a culture of rape in Brazil. A 40-second-video was widely shared and followed by a wave of misogynistic comments, said BBC.
