Three Rape Irish Man In Australia
Police in Australia are hunting three men who attacked and allegedly raped a male Irish backpacker and migrant worker.
The 20-year-old man told police he was headbutted and punched before being raped by one of the men while being driven around in their car for up to an hour.
He was lured into the car by three men who are all thought to be Australian while using a public phone outside a mini-mart around 11.30pm last Saturday.
The man, who has not been named for legal reasons, was working as a banana picker in the town of Tully, Queensland, when he was attacked.
Locals in the small town, south of Cairns, have been shocked by the assault amid concerns the gang may return.
The ordeal lasted around 30 minutes and a newspaper in Tully described the incident as "a violent and sordid attack".
The victim was so badly beaten that he blacked out.
