A 17-year-old girl was sexually assaulted three times by three separate men within an hour in an “unprecedented” and gravely traumatising ordeal.

The teenager was walking home from a nightclub in Tower Hamlets, east London, when she was targeted by the men in quick succession.

The local authority announced on Friday that it was investing £3million to put an additional 19 officers on the streets in the crime-ridden borough after losing almost 200 officers in seven years due to government cuts.

Police said there was absolutely no link between the “opportunistic” attacks on the teenager, two of which were described as very serious, possibly rape. The third suspect may have been part of a group.

1. What was she wearing? Why was she out so late? Why was she alone?

I haven't looked at the comments section for the article yet, but I'm guessing all those questions are in there....

Please, humanity, prove me wrong!!

7. If she had been out delivering food and medical care

to the homeless or poor, there would still be some who would blame her instead of the culture of rape annd violence.

8. What the hell is the point in paying taxes

if the police can't even keep people safe on the streets and they get attacked on the way home with that frequency? That's absolutely pathetic.

9. What's the problem?

If it's OK for the president of the USA to molest women, and it's OK for movie producers to molest women, it's OK for any man who wants to molest women.
<sarcasm> as if it's needed.
