Two girls ages, 15 and 16, were reportedly sexually abused at the end of December 2023 by a group of youths, some massively in Bischofshofen (Pongau). The public prosecutor is investigating 9 accused altogether: 8 boys as well as a girl, (all)  aged between 15-18. According to the Salzburger Nachrichten report, they are Turks, Serbians, and Austrians with a migration background. 

A police spokesperson confirmed the December incident on Saturday to APA (Austrian Press Agency). It was not publicized for reasons of victim protection. According to the victim's attorney, Sabina Moser, to the Salzburger Nachrichten, the (victims) students were recently questioned the whole day (in an adversarial hearing). The criminal proceedings against the accused will primarily be for the crime of "sexual abuse of a defenseless or psychologically impaired person" (Paragraph.205 State Penal Code). Two of the accused allegedly filmed the attack with cell phone videos. The police have now evaluated the cell phone videos. The previously uncharged boys are (currently) free. 

The incident occurred while the 15-year-old girl was alone with her 16-year-old girlfriend in the parents' apartment and the 8 boys came by "to chill". Subsequently, a lot of alcohol flowed, and the two eventual victims reportedly soon became heavily drunk. There were reportedly at least 4-5 of the boys who were direct perpetrators of the girls- they had sexual intercourse or similar acts with the female student.
