British teenager is gang raped by 'Moroccan' men after being dragged into a car in Spain

A British teenager has been gang-raped in a Spanish resort after being dragged into a car by a group of Moroccan men, it was reported today.

The 18-year-old claimed she was attacked while walking home from work late at night in Sabinillas, near Marbella.

Police are investigating a group of Moroccan men in the area.

A friend of the victim told The Olive Press: 'She is absolutely devastated. 

'I hope the police catch these men and they get what they deserve. They are the lowest of the low.'

It is not clear when the attack took place or whether the suspects were migrants or tourists. 

The report comes as countries across Europe have recorded a huge spike in the number of alleged sex attacks by

migrants arriving from North Africa and the Middle East.

In Cologne, Germany, prosecutors say they have received 1,037 criminal complaints over the New Year's events where women were subjected to mass sex attacks by gangs of North African men.

The attacks have fuelled the debate in Germany and across Europe about the ability to cope with the huge number of migrants that have arrived over the past year.

The alleged attack took place in Sabinillas, just 40km from the Spanish North African enclave of Ceuta where hundreds of migrants try to enter from Morocco in the hope of gaining asylum in Europe

Last month, Denmark also became one of the latest countries to warn of a surge in migrant sex attacks against women.

One Syrian man said if new arrivals 'see a girl, they go nuts... they simply can't handle it' as women in at least three Danish cities reported being harassed by asylum seekers.

In Norway, migrants are being given rape prevention classes to teach them appropriate sexual behaviour following the attacks in Cologne. 

Spain, itself, has fought a persistent battle to stop migrants sneaking into its North African enclave of Ceuta, which is located across the Strait of Gibraltar just 40km from Sabinillas. 

Ceuta, along with Melilla to the east, are Spanish territories on the northern coast of Morocco that together form the European Union's only land borders with Africa.

Spain has fortified fences in the two territories in response to a rise in the number of migrants trying to jump over the barriers from Morocco.
