Protests erupt in north Colombia over rape tour for child sex tourists

by Frank Cardona March 16, 2018

Protests erupted in northern Colombia on Thursday after reports on an alleged “rape tour” for foreign sex predators.

A former sex worker told radio network RCN about the existence of sex parties on the outskirts of tourist hotspot Cartagena that included the mass rape of girls between 12 and 15 years old.

They get a lot of marijuana; this gives them a lot of hunger and thirst, but rather than food they just get water spiked with a drug used to stimulate the sexual appetite of animals. [The girls] do not know the water contains this substance. When they’re out of control, the safari-style chase begins.

“Alma”

Public indignation and police inaction

The so-called “rape tour” is the latest alleged abuse of girls by foreign predators who come to Colombia, and particularly cities like Cartagena and Medellin, for child sex tourism purposes.
