The Police in South Africa are investigating the claims of a 23-year-old man that he was drugged and raped ‘numerous’ times over three days by three female assailants.

The 23-year-old said his ordeal began when he got into a taxi with three other young female passengers inside, last Friday.

During the journey, the vehicle abruptly changed direction and the man was injected with an unknown substance before passing out.

When he woke up, he was lying in a strange room on a single bed.

South African Police Service Captain Colette Weilbach told Daily Mail: “He stated that he woke up in an unfamiliar room on a single bed.“The female suspects then allegedly forced the man to drink an energy drink‚ before taking turns raping him numerous times a day.”

After three days of assaults, the man said he was eventually dropped off in an open field in Benoni.

“The South African Police Service take all sexual offences seriously regardless of gender.” Weilbach added

Captain Weilbach urged anyone with information, or who had experienced a similar ordeal to come forward.

Rape and sexual violence against both men and women are at epidemic levels in South Africa.
