Five Teenagers Arrested in Kfar Saba for Alleged Gang Rape of 14-Year-Old

Five teenagers, aged 14 to 16, were arrested on Thursday on suspicion of gang-raping a 14-year-old girl in Kfar Saba. Authorities allege that the boys forced the girl to smoke cannabis before sexually assaulting her on multiple occasions in a neighborhood shelter. The investigation began after the girl, accompanied by her parents, filed a complaint with the police several days prior. She stated that she met the suspects during the summer vacation and would spend time with them at the shelter. According to her complaint, the boys forced her to smoke cannabis and then took turns having sex with her against her will and without her consent. The alleged incidents occurred on several occasions. Following the complaint, police launched an investigation and apprehended the five suspects. During questioning, the teenagers admitted to bringing cannabis to the meetings and smoking it with the girl. They also confessed to having sex with her but claimed it was consensual. The investigation is ongoing, and police are expected to conduct confrontations between the complainant and the suspects to clarify the circumstances and the claims of both sides.
