A teenage girl was allegedly raped by an 18-year-old at a Keith Urban concert in Boston this weekend amid hundreds of other fans.
The alleged assault took place at the Xfinity Center in Mansfield on Saturday night. The country music gig descended into chaos with 22 fans sent to hospital for intoxication and 50 people held by police on alcohol-related charges.
Sean Murphy, 18, was charged with sexually assaulting the girl while a large crowd of fans looked on, unaware that an attack was taking place before their eyes.
According to a police report, a concert-goer reported to an officer on the lawn of the venue that she believed a rape had taken place in front of a large crowd.
The woman told the officer she asked the teenage girl involved if the sex was consensual and she allegedly said ‘no’.
The woman said she pushed Murphy off the victim. The girl ran off and Murphy, of Roxbury, Massachusetts, also fled into the crowd.
The female victim was reunited with her friends and police apprehended Murphy.
Fans who witnessed the alleged attack provided police with cellphone footage of what they saw.
One fan described drunk 14- and 15-year-olds vomiting on other concertgoers. Keith Urban himself commented on the wild crowd in a video tweeted out to fans after the concert, Daily Mail informs.
