A 12-year-old Jewish girl was gang-raped by child attackers who taunted her with anti-Semitic slurs in a case that has shocked France.

The attack has placed anti-Semitism in the centre of the country’s upcoming parliamentary elections, with political parties condemning the attack, and pointing fingers at one another.

The assault happened Saturday in the suburb of Courbevoie, northwest of Paris, as the victim was walking home after parting with her boyfriend.

Two teens approached her and dragged her forcibly into a warehouse. A third suspect, 12, joined them, hurling anti-Semitic insults, calling her “dirty Jew” as the other boys beat, threatened, and raped her, and forced her to perform oral sex.
