Case about group assault at the Westerbegraafplaats comes up today, but what was it about again?

The trial surrounding the group assault of a 14-year-old girl at the Westerbegraafplaats in Ghent in May last year will be advocated on Monday afternoon. Five boys then groped the girl without permission, after which they spread the images via social media. The victim took his own life four days later. Although the investigation found no direct link, the judge dismissed the charge of “indecent assault resulting in death” into the debate. The adult defendants face up to 20 years in prison.
