Eleven people, including a 12-year-old boy and a 15-year-old girl, have been arrested on suspicion of raping a woman in her home in Liverpool. | |
The 43-year-old woman, described by police as vulnerable, was attacked at a property in Anfield on 24 September. | |
Paramedics called police to report the woman had been sexually assaulted. | |
Two men aged 19 and 18, eight boys aged between 12 and 16, and the girl have been released on bail. | |
Merseyside Police said they were investigating whether any other people were involved. | |
Det Supt Tim Keelan, said: "The victim has been distressed by her ordeal and is being supported by specialist officers. | |
