Teenage boys arrested for rape
Two teenage boys have been arrested for allegedly raping a fellow pupil in Reiger Park in Boksburg.
The 13-year-old victim was allegedly raped by the two boys, with one of their friends filming the incident.
"The girl never reported the matter immediately. She went home, she kept quiet until yesterday morning when she went to school, she realised that those [boys] which were busy filming her while the incident was taking place they're now showing off the video to some fellow learners," says police spokesperson Jan Mokwana.
