Et polsk par på 26 år gik lørdag på et afsides liggende område af stranden i Rimini i Italien, og det kom de til at fortryde: Kvinden blev gruppevoldtaget og manden gennemtævet til han blev bevidstløs.

ROME — Italian police are investigating the suspected gang rape of a Polish tourist and the savage beating of her partner on Italy’s popular Rimini beach.

Italian news reports said the man passed out after being beaten on the head and robbed and his partner was repeatedly raped by four men early Saturday on a secluded stretch of beach in the Adriatic town on Italy’s eastern coast.

Media reports said the 26-year-old Poles were hospitalized with injuries. Passers-by called police after seeing the couple, bloodied and dazed, on the beach.

It wasn’t immediately clear if any suspects had been detained.

Fire mænd, hvad kan fire mænd ikke gennemføre, hvis de vil? Hvor er de love, som straffer den slags forbrydelser? Hvor er de politikere, som tager konsekvensen af det, de har sat i værk?

Læren synes at være, at det er noget, som kan ske nærmest hvor som helst i  Vest-Europa. Hvad vil folk gøre med det? Skal de opfatte det som collateral damage, noget man må påregne? Havde det været andre ofre og andre gerningsmænd, var der helt sikkert blevet gjort noget ved det, men når det kun er europæiske ofre, ser alt ud til at passere.

Last year a 17-year-old British girl was raped on the same stretch of beach.

The girl, who has not been named, said she had been asked by a young man to go with him to the shore and «watch the shooting stars».

He then allegedly attacked her and raped her on the beach. A 19-year-old man was arrested.
