Horrifying: Four teenage girls raped and a number of young women are sexually assaulted at a popular music festival




A major police investigation is underway in Sweden after four teenage girls were raped and 11 other women were sexually abused during a music festival in the town of Emmaboda.

According to reports the four girls aged between 15-17 were raped at the annual Emmaboda Music Festival which was held last weekend.
