18 June 2016 Latin America & Caribbean
Six men and a minor are to be charged in Rio de Janeiro with raping a 16-year-old girl and posting pictures and video on the internet, police say.
The lead investigator in the case has sent her conclusions to prosecutors, asking for all of them to be arrested.
The victim said she was doped after going to her boyfriend's house and woke up in a different house, surrounded by 33 men, in May.
The case shocked Brazil and led to protests by women's groups.
It came to light after a 40-second video of the attack, in a poor community in the west of the city was posted on Twitter.
