2 Pakistani men arrested over gang-raping of American Vlogger

Two Pakistani men have been arrested for their involvement in the gang-rape of an American vlogger. The American is a tourist visiting a resort in the eastern Punjab province of the Arabian country.

The suspects arrested are the vlogger’s tour guide and another man who took videos of her while being raped, which they intended for blackmail.

The victim said, ‘We stayed in a hotel at Fort Monroe where both suspects gang raped me and made a video of the act to blackmail me,’ she alleged in the FIR.

She then said one of the suspects threatened her after she went to the police.

Police say they are still investigating to determine how the woman was lured and taken to a hotel by the two men accused of raping her.

The woman earlier stayed at the home of one of the alleged attackers for five days, with local reports suggesting he was her ‘guide’.

Pakistani news outlets say that police are carrying out raids to find other suspects.

The U.S. Embassy in Islamabad told The Associated Press that its consulate in Pakistan’s city of Lahore was ready to provide consular services to the victim.

‘The protection of U.S. citizens overseas is the highest priority of the U.S. Department of State and our embassies and consulates abroad,’ it said.

It said ‘out of respect for the privacy of the alleged victim, we cannot comment on the specifics of the allegation.’
