Social media users have voiced outrage on Twitter as Brazilian police continue to search for more than 30 men believed to be involved in raping a teenage girl and posting a video of the attack online.
The girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, allegedly visited her boyfriend’s house in Rio De Janeiro and was drugged before waking up in a different house, surrounded by dozens of men, according to the BBC.

It was only when she reportedly returned home later that day, she discovered her attackers had filmed the incident and posted images on social media.
The 40-second video clip was also shared on Twitter, attracting a series of misogynistic comments before being removed from the site.
The girl’s grandmother told local newspaper Folha de São Paulo the family was emotional after watching the video.
[i]“I regretted watching it,”[/i] she said. [i]“When we heard the story, we didn’t believe what was happening. It’s a great affliction. It’s a depressing situation.”[/i]
Though police have issued arrest warrants for the culprits, including the boyfriend, angry campaigners took to Twitter to voice outrage at the country’s [i]“culture of rape.”[/i]
Using the hashtag 'EstuproNuncaMais' (rape never again), Twitter users said women should never have to endure such an experience.[/quote]

No one should have shown her grandma the video...
Don't need a second thread for this. It's a bit redundant.
