Not what you might expect in Bendigo

In country Bendigo, a case which I believe will have a dramatic impact on local views on various social matters:

SEVEN males have been charged with the gang rape of a woman in Bendigo.


Police allege the men unlawfully imprisoned and repeatedly raped the woman at a residence in Flora Hill early on Sunday.

Four of the men, Mohammad Zaoli, 21, Mohammed Elnour, 18, Aru Gar, 19, and Akoak Manon, 18, appeared via video link in the Bendigo Magistrates Court yesterday. They each face 17 charges, including 14 of rape. The other three accused are aged 14, 16 and 17 and cannot be named. They appeared in a children's court on the same 17 charges.

The men must be presumed innocent.
