American Woman Gang-Raped In Northern India

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

An American woman has been gang-raped in a town in northern India.

The 30-year-old got a lift with a driver of a truck on Monday, which also had two other men travelling in it.

The woman was driven to a secluded area where she says she was raped by the three men.

She reported the attack to police and an investigation was launched.

Police said three men have been arrested in connection with the alleged hour-long assault.

Authorities had issued an alert and set up roadblocks to check any trucks leaving the town.

The arrests come after a survey suggested the number of foreign women tourists visiting India has fallen by 35% following several sex attacks that have made global headlines.

The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India said female tourist arrivals fell after the fatal gang rape of a 23-year-old Indian student by six men on a bus in Delhi last December.

That attack brought simmering anger about endemic sex crime to the surface and led to violent protests in cities across the country.

It was followed by reports of further attacks, including the alleged gang rape of a Swiss cyclist in the central state of Madhya Pradesh in March.

In a separate incident the same month, a British woman travelling in northern India jumped out of the third-floor window of her hotel room in Uttar Pradesh fearing a sexual attack after the hotel's owner tried to force his way into the room.

A South Korean tourist was allegedly drugged and raped in the same state in January by the son of the owner of a hotel where she was staying.

This is as political or religious as all the threads about the Zimmerman killing of Martin.

The media and the lawyers are trying to put a spin on the story.

American?, british? swiss?

are these indian born women or caucasians? it's relevant to the assessment of risk.

With all the warnings the US Embassy posts , you gotta wonder about the thought process for an American Female to seek a 'lift' in a truck anywhere in India.

I'm surprised there are any women still travelling to India at all quite honestly.

I have not looked at the foreign-rape stats but there are a billion people there... is this really a new epidemic or just the media finding the next ratings buzz?
