US Researcher Gang Raped in New Guinea - Rape Board

This is only a portion of the newspaper article. There are a few more details in the main article. If you want all of the details search for "New Guinea rape"
Portions of the article come dangerously close to breaking RB rules.

With stories like this one and and the recent rapes in India, I am wondering if gang-rape is more prevalent around the world than we might have thought.
----------------------------------------
A U.S. academic has been gang raped in Papua New Guinea by nine armed men who hacked off her blonde hair and left her husband tied naked to a tree.

The 32-year-old woman, who was conducting research into exotic birds in a remote forest on Karkar Island, was walking along a bush track with her husband and a guide on Friday when they were set upon by the gang armed with knives and rifles.

Her husband and the guide were stripped and bound by the men, who then used a bush knife to hack off the woman's hair before raping her in a terrifying ordeal lasting 20 minutes.

Not to get off topic, but I thought that all discussion of real rapes, except to celebrities, was against RB rules. If that's not the case, I'd be glad to follow up.

I understand your concerns, they were mine too. Before posting I consulted with CrotchRipper. He thought the article would probably be OK but not the associated partial photo of the victim which showed the cut off hair. For these reasons I choose not to post the link to the newspaper article. If the mods ask I will remove the post.

One of the questions I have with the recent rash of, world-wide, gang rapes;
is are they becoming more common OR just more reported?

In all likelihood more reported; apparently in certain parts of the world gang rapes are fairly common occurrences but have escaped media notice because of either the remoteness of the location or that Western women have become victims.

Yeah I agree, though there has been a lot of attention in the press about sex crimes against women, especially in Asian, African and Arabic countries, by the UN
