La Savanne: --- The gendarmes have arrested several persons some of whom were already sent to Guadeloupe for allegedly raping a minor girl. SMN News has been reliably informed that the incident took place about two weeks ago in the Grand Case area. It is said at least 16 young men some of whom were already arrested and charged with rape was sent to Guadeloupe. SMN News also understands that the victim managed to walk out from where the attack allegedly took place.
The source said the victim is from the Dutch side of the island, but resides in Concordia. Efforts made to gather more information on this case up to press time proved futile. So far the gendarmes have not released any information on the case while the investigation is being conducted by the Brigade de Researches. Vice Prosecutor Jacques Louvier could not be reached for comment.
