A 13-year-old schoolboy was allegedly gang raped by a gang of classmates during a sports school trip - the victim has reportedly already endured months of bullying and was blackmailed
A schoolboy was allegedly gang raped by five of his classmates, when he was just 13 years old, during a school sports trip to Malaga, before he was left in a catatonic state.
The young victim, now 16, was then blackmailed and forced to keep the horrific abuse a secret as he was terrified the shameless bullies would go after his younger sibling. The victim had already been bullied at school by a cruel gang, three of them had been under 14, mocked about his acne and glasses and excluded from events. This cruelty spiralled into an alleged disgusting act while on a school sports trip to Malaga, Spain.

The barbarous gang allegedly ambushed the then 13-year-old, during their trip in March 2022, in the hallway of a hotel before they forced him into a bathroom. They supposedly locked the victim in the bathroom while some members of the horror group allegedly raped him while others cheered the disgusting act on.
Some of the classmates, from the school in Valencia, Spain, said "let him suffer, let him suffer, I want to see him suffer", according to a reconstruction of the events.
The then 13-year-old was reportedly blackmailed into staying silent about the traumatic event, as the victim believed they would target his younger brother. He even reportedly endured 300 phone calls from one of the gang members after the supposed attack and more threats sent through social media.
This victim endured two more months of daily humiliation before he collapsed in his mother's arms and fell into a catatonic state. The horror attack and trauma he endured allegedly led to the boy experiencing amnesia, which he has used a psychologist to help work through this with.
The boy was taken to hospital and later admitted three more times over 35 days. The alarm was raised by the psychologist who reported the alleged attack and abuse to the school and the police.
The victim recalled the names of the alleged attackers during his first appointment with the psychologist but he was not able to remember all of the details. One person has been charged in Valencia's Juvenile Prosecutor's Office, two years after the alleged gang rape attack, and they could face 15 months behind bars if found guilty.
Other alleged members of this group were either too young to be criminally charged or they have not proven to be involved yet.
A teacher at the school, according to the MailOnline, said: "Everyone at school knows a student was raped. The principal banned trips and overnight activities outside of Valencia after the complaint, ten children in the same grade left the school, and the members of the parent-teacher association resigned."
The victim, now 16, was left with "chronic post-traumatic stress disorder with severe episodes of dissociative amnesia", according to local Spanish newspapers.
