Gang rape occurs when a group of people participate in the rape of a single victim. Rape involving at least two or more violators (normally at least three) is widely reported to occur in many parts of the world. Systematic information on the extent of the problem, however, is scant.
Overview
One study showed that offenders and victims in gang rape incidents were younger with a higher possibility of being unemployed. Gang rapes involved more alcohol and drug use, night attacks and severe sexual assault outcomes and less victim resistance and fewer weapons than individual rapes. Another study found that group sexual assaults were more violent and had greater resistance from the victim than individual sexual assaults and that victims of group sexual assaults were more likely to seek crisis and police services, to contemplate suicide and seek therapy than those involved in individual assaults. The two groups were about the same in the amount of drug use and drinking during the assault.
South Africa

France
The expression la tournante is a French noun meaning "the turning" and is used as a slang term to mean a gang rape. According to a CNN Insight broadcast, the combination of lack of respect and integration in traditional French society, frustration at lack of representation and opportunities has resulted in dangerous slums dominated by male-run gangs who engage in violence against women, including rape.
