dive into the thick—and alarming—forest. teen gangbangsHowever, it forces you to go slow and a little groping. Miguel Lorente, a forensic doctor and former government delegate on Gender Violence, examines the phenomenon this way: “We see a similar pattern in this type of aggression: young men who often use violence and intimidation in an extreme way and record the scene in the video,” says Lorente. Initial information from Badalona matches this way of working: Indeed, the alleged attackers appear to have used knives as a threat and the attack could be recorded.

‘La Manada’ as a reference

In this sense, the expert before and after according to his criteria, Due to ‘package‘. “The multiple rape in Pamplona has become a reference factor in the attacks,” explains Lorente, in a society that has traditionally naturalized and trivialized violence against women. And as evidence of the accusation, he points to groups of attackers calling themselves “herds”, as in the case of Castelldefels, or the voice of Rayo Vallecano coach Carlos Santiso cheering on his players and saying what it is. What was missing as a team was to pretend to be “the ones from Arandina” and “fuck an adult so as not to get in the jars and kill him all together”.

The expert also predicts: increase in complaints really equals a case increase, this type of aggression comes to the surface not because victims feel safer going to the police station. “The women’s fear of not being believed, or that they will blame themselves for the attack because of their dress, works much less well when five strangers carry out the attack,” says the coroner.

The role of online porn

There is no doubt that there is a definite and unequivocal factor explaining the “alarming” increase in multiple attacks perpetrated by minors. But Graciela Atencio, director of Feminiciodios.net, points out the critical role this phenomenon plays. violent porn which children can access with a simple click. Atencio notes that porn doesn’t automatically turn those who consume it into an aggressor, but – in the general absence of emotional and sex education – it’s alarming. adolescents “build their sexual desires on extremely violent and unequal pornographic content, which is abnormal”, indicates. Not metaphorical: an estimated seven out of ten videos indicted contain explicit violence.

In its work as a sexual violence observatory, this entity was able to document more than 200 multiple sexual assaults committed in Spain between 2016 and October 2020. ‘porn’ (staging violent sex between several men and a woman). “Who is usually among the bullies? they make love to women, not womenThere’s some kind of wretched display of masculinity and brotherhood, and there’s usually a leader or instigator promoting the group.” According to the entity’s data, uOne in ten attacks is pornographic (there is evidence that aggression was recorded); one in ten victims had some kind of disability and also one in ten reported having drugged before the attack.

sexual terror

Beyond its dire repercussions on those affected, Atencio argues that this type of group aggression is also sex terror, that is, it has adverse effects on women’s freedom. What to do then? There is consensus that the antidote must go through sex education and promoting equality. “The answers are always the same,” admits Miguel Lorente, “but it’s still not done.” In this sense, the Vicky Bernadet Foundation is asked to conduct in-depth research to coordinate the phenomenon and remind that 20% of minors experience some form of sexual abuse before reaching the age of 17. “This has been known for over 20 years and no definitive action has yet been taken, so everything needs to be done.” In fact, according to the Ministry of Interior, 46% of victims of sexual violence are underage children.
