FOUR boys and a girl are in police custody in connection with the alleged sexual assault of a 19-year-old girl.

Assistance Commissioner of Police Stephen Dean said a “full scale” investigation was launched after a video of the alleged assault was posted on social media on Sunday.

He said a formal complaint was made yesterday.

The video, which shows two young men and the girl, engaged in a sexual act was shared more than 300 times on Facebook

Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 911 or 919, the Central Detective Unit at 502-9991 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 328-TIPS.

Investigations continue.

Re-post: Small wonder these types of violent events against women are happening with increasing frequency in our country today. Just look at how Carnival portrays women. Clearly the corrupt Christie-led PLP government has much more interest in demeaning women rather than promoting their rights. Let's not forget that roar of laughter Leslie Miller got from his fellow MPs when he readily admitted on the floor of the House of Assembly that he slaps around women "because that's what a woman wants and needs...a good slappin' up every now and then!"
