Liberian Policemen Suspected of Gang Raping Teen Authorities in Liberia say a group of police officers in the West African country are suspected of repeatedly gang raping a 16-year-old girl and holding her hostage for several days. Police spokesman George Bardue told state-run Liberia Broadcasting System on Friday that the officers based in the northern town of Voinjama have been recalled to the capital Monrovia to face an investigation. The men - whose exact number was not immediately clear - are suspected of sexually abusing and holding the girl as a prisoner in their dormitory for several days. A senator from the region bordering Guinea, George Tengbeh, also confirmed the alleged gang rape and called for a thorough investigation. Rape remains prevalent in Liberia following 14 years of brutal civil war which ended in 2003.
