16-year-old boy raped by six men

Six Arab men are facing trial after they were accused of raping a 16-year-old boy in a desert area in Dubai, a newspaper reported on Thursday.

The student was with a friend of his cousin when five other men joined them and drove him to a remote desert area, where the six took turns in raping the boy.

Dubai’s prosecutor said the boy identified one of the defendants as he was with him at a car repair shop when the incident took place.

The six, including one Arab and five from another Gulf country, told the boy they would give him a lift to his house.

“Instead, they drove him to a deserted area in the desert and raped him,” Alkhaleej newspaper said.
