Another case of gang rape involving migrants, this time in France, involving three Algerians who targeted a Polish woman inside a squatted apartment in the city of Gap.
The case involves a 42-year-old Polish woman who was visiting her daughter and a friend on Dec. 13. She stopped at the friend’s apartment in the city center, which happened to be next door to the three accused men, who prosecutors say are squatting their apartment.
“These three men, of Algerian nationality, are in an irregular situation on the territory.” Marion Lozac’hmeur, public prosecutor, specifies: “One of them had an OQTF (obligation to leave French territory) and the three were the subject of a new OQTF from the Hautes-Alpes prefecture.”
The rape suspect spoke “incomprehensible French.” https://t.co/bq7ufYufZT

Prosecutors say that the three men gang raped the Polish mother, but there are few details about the case available. News reports indicate there were six men squatting the apartment, but so far, only three have been arrested following police interrogations. It is unclear how the women entered their apartment or what relationship she had with the men — if any — prior to the alleged gang rape.

Although the men have deportation orders, it is also unclear why the three men were not deported. However, as Remix News has previously reported, deportation rates for Algerians in France with a deportation order are an abysmal 0.2 percent. In other words, only 2 out of every 1,000 Algerians with a deportation order are ever actually sent back. This data came to light following the rape, torture and murder of 12-year-old Lola in Paris by an Algerian woman with a longstanding deportation order, a case that shocked the nation in 2022.
The three Algerian men in the case were born between 1995 and 2005. They are now in pretrial detention and face charges of gang rape, according to French publication Le Dauphine.
