14-y-o abducted, raped by three men in St James

ST JAMES, Jamaica – A 14-year-old girl was reportedly abducted and raped by three men in St James on Tuesday.

The men reportedly pulled the student into their car while she was on her way to school, the police said. A manhunt has since been launched for the abductors.

Reports are that around 8:00 am, the teen was heading to school when a white Mark X motorcar with three men stopped at her feet.

One of the men then pulled her inside the car which then sped off. The men reportedly drove to a premises. They parked, pulled the complainant from the car and took her to an abandoned unfinished concrete house.

There, the police said, the men took turns raping the girl. The teen managed to escape her attackers and ran to a nearby house, where the occupants alerted the police.

The child was taken into protective care. A report was subsequently made, and an investigation initiated.
