A South African man was left traumatized after being drugged and raped ‘numerous’ times over three days by three female assailants.<\/p>\n
The 23-year-old’s ordeal began when he hailed down a communal taxi in eastern Pretoria on Friday – which had three young women inside.<\/p>\n
The taxi began to change direction and the man was ordered to sit in the front.<\/p>\n
He was then injected within an unknown substance and passed out, TimesLive\u00a0reported.<\/p>\n
South African Police Service Captain Colette Weilbach said: ‘He stated that he woke up in an unfamiliar room on a single bed.<\/p>\n
‘The female suspects then allegedly forced the man to drink an energy drink before taking turns raping him numerous times a day.<\/p>\n
‘The South African Police Service take all sexual offences seriously regardless of gender.<\/p>\n
‘[We assure] all victims of these types of crimes that we will carry out robust investigations to bring offenders to justice.’<\/p>\n
The victim was later dumped semi-naked in a field, where he managed to flag down a passing car.<\/p>\n
Rape and sexual violence against both men and women are at epidemic levels in South Africa.<\/p>\n
It is estimated that more than half-a-million rapes are committed annually in the country.<\/p>\n
Rees Mann, of the South African Male Survivors of Sexual Abuse, said nearly 20 percent of sexual violations reported were on men.<\/p>\n
He said: ‘Male victims are much less likely than females to report sexual abuse because police don’t take it seriously.’<\/p>\n
