Rio cops seek 10 in gangrape case

Rio de Janeiro: Police in Brazil are looking for at least 10 men in connection with the gangrape of a woman on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro. A police statement said the 34-year-old victim was assaulted by several men in a bar and on a street of the city of Sao Goncalo, in Rio’s metropolitan area. Investigator Debora Rodrigues said the crime took place a week ago and asked the victim be put into a protection programme. Investigators are now analysing footage taken by security cameras. In June, seven men in Rio were charged in the gang rape of a 16-year-old in a case that shocked Brazil and became a symbol of the problem of violence against women.
