Italy has been shaken by the alleged gang rape of a 13-year-old girl in front of her boyfriend in a public park in the Sicilian city of Catania, the latest in a string of shocking sexual attacks in the country.
The case is reminiscent of two alleged gang rapes last summer. A group of seven men and teenage boys between the ages of 15 and 18 are currently on trial for the alleged rape of a 19-year-old girl in Palermo in August.
Weeks later nine young men were arrested and charged with allegedly raping two cousins aged 10 and 12 near Naples and broadcasting the attack live on social media. They, too, are facing trial.
Last month’s alleged gang rape in Catania has become not only a symbol of violence against women in the country, but a cause célèbre for Italy’s far-right government. The seven suspected perpetrators were all Egyptian migrants, three of them under the age of 18, Catania police confirmed to CNN.
Logan said her clothes were torn off and her muscles were agonizingly stretched as she was separated from her crew and swallowed into the 200-to-300-strong mob. She recalled the flashes of cell phone cameras taking pictures of her naked body as her merciless attackers raped her with their hands.
"I didn't even know that they were beating me with flagpoles and sticks and things because I couldn't even feel that because I think the sexual assault was all I could feel, was their hands raping me over and over and over again," Logan said in the interview.
Logan said she clutched desperately to the arm of her bodyguard, Ray, certain she would die if she lost hold of him.
"When I lost Ray, I thought that was the end. It was like all the adrenaline left my body. 'Cause I knew in his face when he lost me, he thought I was going to die," Logan said. "They were tearing my body in every direction at this point, tearing my muscles. And they were trying to tear off chunks of my scalp, they had my head in different directions."
Logan said she hoped her screams would stop her assailants, but they only provoked them.
"Because the more I screamed, it turned them into a frenzy," she said.

Of course it wasn't only digits in her orifices. Lara Logan suffered intestinal damage and long term effects from her brutal attack.

I once had a Muslim man who boldly reported that there is no rape in Muslim nations. Of course, not. You will be killed for adultery if you report out a rape. There were not "four witnesses" to the rape. It is your word against the rapists' lie.
In Texas, our justice system is clogged with the illegal immigrant felons who (under the strong leadership of our governor) have been arrested for crimes. It is incredibly dangerous policy to allow individuals without properly vetted identification into our nations. Especially in our border state, it is simple to commit the crime, flee south, and return with a new name and sad story.
