A man was drugged and raped multiple times over three days by three female assailants in South Africa.
After they kidnapped the 23-year-old, the women took him in an unknown location and for three days they sexually abused him repeatedly.
According to TimesLive, en route to town, the taxi driver changed direction‚ and the young man was asked to sit in the front seat.
He said: 'Male victims are much less likely than females to report sexual abuse because police don't take it seriously'.
The victim woke up in a single-bed room and he was abandoned at the outskirts of Pretoria.
"The three suspects forced him to drink energy drinks before raping him several times a day", revealed police spokesperson Colette Weilbach.
'The South African Police Service take all sexual offences seriously regardless of gender.
On Sunday afternoon, semi-naked, he was dropped off in an open field in Benoni, a city on the East Rand in the South African province of Gauteng. Fortunately, however, he survived - and was able to flag down a passing auto for help.
Rees Mann, from the victims' organisation South African Male Survivors of Sexual Abuse, said nearly 20% of rapes and sexual assaults in the country were committed against men. It is estimated that more than half-a-million rapes are committed annually in the country, against both men and women.
