Police arrested four Afghan teens living in the United Kingdom (UK) on charges connected to the alleged rape of a teenage girl.
The 15-year-old girl was allegedly raped at a school in Dover, Southeast England, on Feb. 6 by a 15-year-old Afghan male and three other Afghan migrant teens, according to The Times. A spokesman for Kent Police confirmed to the outlet that it is investigating a “sexual offense” against a girl and that police arrested four boys in connection to the rape.
Kent Police arrested the 15-year-old male for allegedly raping the teen girl, according to the report. They arrested the other three teens, a 13-year-old, a 15-year-old, and a 16-year-old, on the suspicion of aiding in the alleged sexual assault.
The Afghan teens attended the same Dover school as the alleged victim after migrating to the UK on small boats as unaccompanied minors in 2022, according to the report.
Three of the boys allegedly kept watch and held the victim down while the fourth teen reportedly committed the rape, The Times stated.
At a school in Dover, three Afghan child migrants, aged 13, 15 & 16, pinned down a girl pupil & acted as lookouts while another Afghan 15 year old boy is alleged to have raped her.
They arrived via a Channel dinghy last year.
