The alleged rape has awakened strong feelings, both among people living in the island and among far-Right groups who claim the five suspects are asylum seekers. The woman claims that she shared a taxi home with one of the men and then stopped off at his house to use the toilet. She claims that the man then began to rape her, with four other men later joining him. The man claims that the woman came home and engaged in sex voluntarily, and that no others were involved. The unrest flared up after activists from Nordfront, a neo-Nazi group, accosted an Afghan man at the address where the alleged rape occurred, and spread a video of the encounter on social media.
