It can't be /pol/:
Authorities are denying claims that Syrians gang-raped a child in a Twin Falls apartment complex earlier this month.
“There were no Syrians involved, there was no knife involved, there was no gang-rape,” Twin Falls County Prosecutor Grant Loebs said Monday morning.
An incident did occur, he said, and two juveniles have been charged after authorities obtained video of the incident shot on a cellphone.
But it did not involve Syrian refugees, as numerous stories have claimed on social media and anti-refugee websites. According to those stories, young Syrian refugees gang raped a mentally disabled child at knife-point June 2 in the Fawnbrook Apartments.
A handful of people from Syria live in Twin Falls County — 11 Syrians were receiving food stamps in the county and eight were on Medicaid in 2015, according to the state’s statistics. However, Jan Reeves, director of the Idaho Office for Refugees, said no Syrian refugees have been resettled in Twin Falls.
“There have been periodic website postings about hundreds of Syrians coming to Idaho that have all proven to be false in the past, and this is probably just one of those attempts to try and stir up hatred and bigotry,” he said.
