A British student has been gang-raped by illegal immigrants in Calais, it has been revealed.

The woman was writing a story on asylum seekers for her journalism course when she was attacked, police said.

Up to 100 men have been rounded up as potential witnesses to the crime, which is alleged to have taken place in a notorious squatter camp nicknamed 'The Jungle'.

Police said the attack was of a particularly 'brutal nature'.

I didn’t read the full article, but Calais is a town on the French coast, just opposite England where the English Channel narrows. It was in English hands for much of the high middle ages.

What's the name of the journalist who was mugged (in Lebanon, I think?) There was a picture of him with a very bandaged head and he was on the record as saying that he deserved it because he was part of the Imperialist machine that had been repressing Arabs for years and years (or some such rot).

Journalists can be odd.

A woman in her late twenties going into the woods at night with a gang of male criminals she doesn't know is an idiot.

Her rapists should be drawn and quartered, of course.

But she is still a complete idiot.

Irony can be so ....ironic. While those that did this and witnessed it should be rounded up and shot, they won't be.

Wonder if her J school associates will change their tune sarc/

That's Robert Fisk, the British journalist and onetime correspondent for The Independent in Afghanistan.

In December 2001 he was beaten to a pulp in Pakistan by a group of refugees from Afghanistan.

RichInOC’s comment was tasteless, but in all likelihood this woman’s tragic experience was the result of her naive embrace of bleeding-heart leftist notions that are rampant in J-schools, and that she was eager to promote. If there’s a silver lining in this, it’s that perhaps she and some of her J-school friends will see things differently now, and hopefully be motivated to start promoting a more realistic view of the “human” side of immigration issues.

This seems probable. There's no doubt her behavior was extremely unwise and a disastrous outcome could be anticipated by anyone with common sense.

That's a far cry from saying journalists deserve to be gang-raped because of their profession.

That’s pretty much what I expected from the statement in the article.

I understand her wanting to do a story, what I do not understand is her not taking an escort or bodyguard!!!!

I'm sure she went in without an escort or bodyguard because she wanted to get "the real story" from the squatters, and thought that if a bodyguard or other non-squatter male who could handle himself was present, they might suspect that he was with the police or immigration service and that would compromise their willingness to speak freely to her.

In reality, they lied to her anyway. And then they gangraped her.

Yeah, the view’s a lot better from a distance. From the inside it looks like....well, your eyes are pretty much melted so it doesn’t matter...

On that note...yes President Obama, feel free to take my gun...we don’t need it while singing kum-bay-ya with the tolerant Muslims...

I won't let them take my rifle, much less my gun!

We should prioritize. Illegals from jihadistans should be the first to be deportd..

She should not have been so foolish. On the other hand, a Daisy Cutter or two would do some good toward taking care of the perps and the others who would have joined in had they known she had entered the area.

I’ll choose door number 3. How about talented young english speakers, especially those able/willing to serve five years on active duty in the Army or Marine Corps?
