Police have arrested 3 persons and are reportedly investigating the gang r;ape of a woman after the attack was live-streamed in a closed Facebook group last night..
According to Swedish tabloid Aftonbladet, an online witness said the victim had her clothes pulled off by armed men and was sexually assaulted before cops arrived and turned off the camera.
The horrific assault took place in an apartment in Uppsala, Sweden and the Police rushed to the scene after they were tipped off by someone watching the live stream in horror.
The victim was apparently close to unconscious as the she was assaulted.
An eye witness 21 year old Josefine Lundgren, who called the police immediately when she tuned into the live footage, told Sweden’s Expressen:
“He pulled her clothes off and lay on top of her.”
A few hours later she saw a uniformed policeman interrupt broadcast as he arrived at the scene. He confronted the men and demanded they come to the station before shutting off the webcam.
Another person watching the stream told the paper:
“I first thought it was a poorly orchestrated joke.”
“The first thing you think is ‘how can you do such a thing to a girl? And how can you do it live when you know that you are going to go there?’” a former member of the closed group told the Expressen.
“I think of course it is screwed, totally sick,”
Regional police have begun an investigation and the apartment is being examined by forensic scientists.
