Australian woman 'gang-raped' by five men in Paris ahead of Olympics 2024

A shocking incident of gang-rape has rocked Paris, as French police investigate the assault on a 25-year-old woman who sought refuge in a fast food shop in the Pigalle district over the weekend.

The terrified woman was reportedly gang-raped by a group of five men just days before the Olympics. The assault occurred around midnight on July 20.

CCTV footage captured the woman seeking refuge in a food shop after the attack. Her dress was partially torn and worn "inside out," according to reports.

The woman had been visiting bars and clubs around the Moulin Rouge on the night of July 19 when the men reportedly confronted her at an unspecified location.

She described her attackers as having an African appearance and stated that they raped her in the early hours. After escaping, she sought help at a kebab shop.

The footage shows her running into the shop in a state of panic and asking for assistance. Shortly after, one of the attackers entered the shop, but the woman identified him.

He briefly interacted with her before leaving. The shop staff called emergency services, and the woman was taken to a medical facility. She was reportedly disoriented and struggled to communicate in French, making it difficult for her to provide specific details about the incident.
