A 12-year-old Austrian girl was subjected to a horrifying gang-rape ordeal at the hands of at least a dozen migrant boys who taped their abuse and passed her around like a 'trophy', it has emerged.
Named in local media as Mia, the young girl was reportedly subject to several sex attacks from a number of boys between February and June 2023 in garages, at perpetrators’ apartments and other locations in Vienna.
Austrian police said on March 1, 2024, that they were investigating 17 people, most of them minors, on suspicion of sexually abusing the 12-year-old girl. They included Austrian, Turkish, Syrian, Italian, Bulgarian and Serbian nationals.
Twelve of the suspects were minors between the ages of 14 and 18, one was 19, and two were below the age of criminal responsibility, which is 14 in Austria, and the identities of two others were unknown, said Florian Finda, a senior official with Vienna’s state criminal police office.
But now, the 18-year-old boyfriend of the girl has become the first perpetrator to be convicted in a case which has shocked the Austrian capital.
Afghan migrant, Wais S, appeared in Vienna Regional Court on Monday to face trial over the serious sexual abuse of the minor. He was 15-years-old at the time of the gang rape incident which reportedly took place in a hostel room in Vienna.
According to German newspaper Bild, Wais knew that the young girl, who has been given the name Mia by local media, was under the age of 14 at the time of the attack in 2023, and had impregnated her.
'I plead partially guilty,' the defendant testified during the trial. 'I thought if she was 12 and I was 15, it was allowed.'
