Family baffled after teenage daughter's rape case withdrawn

Police say a gang-rape case brought by a teenager had no prospect being successfully prosecuted. But the victim's family say the suspects - four boys - are known and that there were eyewitnesses to the assault.A family whose 14-year-old daughter was allegedly gang-raped by four boys at a village in North West is baffled after discovering the case has been withdrawn.On the day, she had gone to finalise registration at a new secondary school while her mother went to collect her grade 7 report.

Since the ordeal, the traumatised teen has not returned to school, where she fears having to face two of her alleged rapists. “She is not well at all. She doesn’t want to be near other people. She just locks herself up in the room,” said a family spokesperson, who explained what happened. The victim, as a minor and rape victim, cannot be identified. “She told us four boys [from the area], stopped her and forced her to go to a shack close by. On arrival they locked her inside and took turns raping her," he said.

“She was crying and screaming. She was rescued by a community member and more people started coming in. They saw the boys run away," he said.“There were eyewitnesses and the suspects are known in the area, but we kept being told police are busy with investigations," he said. Provincial police spokesperson Col Adele Myburg confirmed a case had been opened, but said it was later withdrawn.The department of education in the province did not respond to queries.
