TWIN FALLS | Authorities are denying reports that Syrians gang-raped a child at knife-point in a Twin Falls apartment complex earlier this month, saying the false claims are being spread to incite anti-refugee sentiments.
“There were no Syrians involved, there was no knife involved, there was no gang-rape,” Twin Falls County Prosecutor Grant Loebs said Monday morning.

Loebs said he didn’t want to “fan the flames of anti-Syrian refugee people” and suspects the rumors swirling around the Internet that the boys were Syrian is the work of a local group opposed to refugee resettlement.
“There is a small group of people in Twin Falls County whose life goal is to eliminate refugees, and thus far they have not been constrained by the truth,..."
An incident did occur, Loebs said, and two juveniles have been charged after authorities obtained video shot on a cellphone. But the details of the case don't match what's being reported by anti-refugee groups, the prosecutor said.
The criminal cases against those juveniles have been sealed, as is customary when children are charged. Although prosecutors are barred from discussing certain details in sealed juvenile cases, Loebs laid out the basics in an interview Monday to the Times-News. Police are expected to provide more details in a briefing on the incident at a City Council meeting Monday evening.

Last week, residents at a City Council meeting called on city officials to release more information about the incident and questioned whether authorities were covering it up. The story blew up over the weekend when the juveniles were arrested,

Notice how he tiptoes around the lies by telling irrelevant truths.
He's right...they were Somalis, not Syrians.
There was no "gang rape"...only the 13 year old raped the girl. The others were under ten and "unable to ejaculate," according to reports. So the elder boy told them to urinate on her, and they did.
Only one touched her. 13 year old just filmed. 7-year-old just peed. 10-year-old raped but didn’t come, so I guess he was the one. Father high-fived 13-year-old—about that he says nothing. Lynch mobs have been formed over less.
Man, she was asking for it, flaunting her face at them. Probably even stuck out her tongue, which to Muslims is same as doing a hoochy koochy dance.
Would you run down your list of hoaxes for our edification?
Sandy Hook. Check.
Orlando. Check.
How about Fort Hood? Did that happen? No video of all the carnage there either, which seems to be your requirement.
Gabby Gifford? No video.
The movie theatre in Colorado? No carnage video from inside.
Has anyone seen any video footage taken by any of the club goers ?
300+ young adults in a nightclub, and not a one has a cell phone ?
No security video footage ?
It's not a requirement, but does seem suspicious.
Where is the video from Costco ?
It is pretty suspicious, isn’t it.
Everything is videotaped these days, and a popular night club would most likely have video surveillance.
Maybe all the video tape equipment was destroyed by the numerous holes blown in the walls with C-4.
