AS many as a dozen men are accused of stripping and molesting a 16-year-old bridesmaid at the groom’s home, according to police in Taian City in east China’s Shandong Province.

Three men were detained and a fourth was released on bail. Police are still hunting other suspects, according to local Taishan Evening News.

The teen, a senior high school student who publicly identified herself as Xiao Li, was invited to be a bridesmaid at the wedding of a schoolmate’s brother on September 26. After she accompanied the bride to the groom’s home, as many as a dozen young men dragged her inside a room and locked the door, Qilu Evening News reported.

"I was pulled to the bed. Some of them touched my body and tried to take off my pants,” she said. Her clothes were stripped off after she tried to resist, she said. “Ten or more men pressed on my body. I couldn’t put up a fight. They touched my body all over,” Xiao Li said. In an interview with a local TV station, she said the group of men, who appeared to be age 24 or 25, also touched her genitals.

Xiao Li was scared and could only cry. But her tears didn’t touch the hearts of her attackers. “One said, "We just touched you. What are you crying for?’” she recalled.

An Initial police investigation showed she was molested for nearly 20 minutes. Xiao Li said she has attempted suicide several times since the attack and has remained silent all day at home.

"They have to be punished by law. We can’t just let it go,” her mother said. The groom’s father said he would compensate the girl. But Xiao Li said she felt he wasn’t sincere.

The groom said in a telephone interview with the TV station that he didn’t know what happened because he wasn’t at the scene. He also said he had no way to contact the suspects.

The TV report showed Xiao Li confronting the groom’s father.

"Do you know how I got through this month? Now I tell you I would rather die,” she shouted at the groom’s father. The teen trembled and her parents held her hands to prevent her from getting too close to the groom’s father, TV news showed.

"How could your son and daughter-in-law continue their honeymoon traveling in Beijing? Do they still have a conscience?” she shouted.
