A 15-year-old Chicago girl was apparently sexually assaulted by five or six men or boys on Facebook Live, and none of the roughly 40 people who watched the live video reported the attack to police, authorities said. The video marks the second time in recent months that the Chicago Police Department has investigated an apparent attack that was streamed live on Facebook. Police only learned of the latest alleged attack when the girl's mother approached the head of the police department, Supt. He said Johnson immediately ordered detectives to investigate and the department asked Facebook to take down the video, which it did. A spokesperson for Facebook, Andrea Saul, said she had no specific comment on the Chicago incident but that the company takes its "responsibility to keep people safe on Facebook very seriously."
