France[edit]
Further information: Ni Putes Ni Soumises and Rape in France
Between 5000 to 7000 gang rapes are reported in France every year.[33]
In banlieues organised gang-rapes are referred to as tournantes, or "pass-arounds"


In October 2012, two girls in Fontenay-sous-Bois on the outskirts of Paris reported experiencing daily gang rapes in the high-rise tower blocks, sometimes by scores of boys. One witness described 50 boys "queuing" to rape her.[36] 10 of the 14 defendants who were minors at the time of gang rape were acquitted, while the remaining 4 adults found guilty were given 0 to 12 months in prison. This case shocked the country.[36][37] In 2014, the case of a Canadian tourist allegedly gang raped by four police officers in Paris received international attention.[38]

Nigeria[edit]
Nigeria reports thousands of gang rapes every year.[55][56] In 2011, ABSU gang rape, where the gang videotaped their crime, drew widespread attention and protests inside Nigeria.[57] The prevalence of group rape has been proposed as a significant contributor to spread of sexual diseases and AIDS.[58][59]
(clip)
United States[edit]
The US reports about 85,000 rapes a year, about 27.3 rapes per 100,000 population.[98] There is a rape in the US every 6.2 minutes, with 1 in 5 women likely to be raped in her lifetime.[99] As with other countries, the US does not collect separate data on gang rapes; Vogelman and Lewis estimate 25% of all rapes in the US are gang rapes.[77] Another source indicates 21.8% of American rapes are gang rapes.[100]
Hundreds of gang rape cases on college campuses have been prosecuted.[12] A Roger Williams University study estimates from survey of crime data that 16% of all male rapists in the US participated in a gang rape crime.[101]
Some recent examples of gang rapes reported in local media include the Cleveland gang rape,[102] Richmond gang rape,[103] New Orleans gang rape,[104] St Paul gang rape,[105] Miami gang rape/murder,[106] Chicago gang rape[107] Delaware park gang rape[108] among others.
