Four teenage boys have been arrested after a girl was reportedly raped at a school in Kent.

The incident allegedly happened in Dover last Monday.

A Kent Police spokesperson said the force “is investigating a report of a sexual offence involving a teenage girl and a teenage boy in Dover on the afternoon of Monday, February 6, 2023.

“Four boys were arrested as part of the investigation and have since been released on bail while enquiries continue.”

According to The Times, a source close to the case said three boys aged 13, 15 and 16 allegedly pinned the girl down and kept “lookout” while a fourth, aged 15, raped her.

According to the newspaper, the boys are understood to be Afghan nationals who arrived in the UK by small boat last year.

They are said to now attend the school along with the victim.

The Home Office declined to comment.
