A 23-year-old man suspected of participating in the gang rape of a 17-year-old girl was arrested this week in Thbong Khmum province, while his six alleged accomplices remain at large, officials said yesterday.

Ouk Pov, Kroch Chhmar district deputy police chief, told the Post that the victim was at the provincial hospital with her mother on Monday when she left alone to go to a bathroom outside the premises and bumped into the seven suspects, who were drinking alcohol nearby.

“They forcefully raped her and detained her for one night,” Pov said, adding that it was the first alleged case of rape seen in Kroch Chhmar district.

According to Pov, following a complaint from hospital staff, police on Tuesday found the victim and the seven suspects at a location near the hospital.
