One Mexican father is fighting for justice for his teenage daughter, whom he says was raped by an exclusive gang of privileged young Mexican men known as Los Porkys.

Los Porkys Accused of Attacking Teen Girl

According to the girl's father, his daughter, Daphne, was dragged into a car in Veracruz, Mexico, by five teen boys who proceeded to rape her. He claims the suspects are part of a gang known as Los Porkys. The gang's members are the sons of upper class businessmen and prominent members of society.

"My underage daughter was dragged into a car against her will," said the father. "She had her liberty taken away from her, she was harassed, subdued, sexually abused and raped."

The father also posted a video online of the accused gangsters. He claimed the gangsters had willingly confessed in the clip. They are seen apologizing for the crime, admitting they acted stupidly and felt terrible about what they had done​.

Suspects Retract Confessions

However, after the alleged victim's father shared the confession video, the teens are denying that they raped her, while their parents have accused the girl of fabricating the incident. Daphne's father says the suspects' families have also claimed the alleged gang rape never took place and have launched a social media attack on his daughter.

He then posted an open letter online to generate public support for justice for his daughter.

"I write this letter, despite the immense pain and shame, to the public so that the family members of those involved assume responsibility for what they have done," reads his letter. "Although I spoke to them, although they said sorry for the tragedy, and recognized what had happened, and despite a filmed video showing their sons apologizing, despite all of this, they have taken it upon themselves to attack and defame (my daughter), with the objective of avoiding that their sons taking responsibility for the crimes they committed."

Will Suspects Go Unpunished?

The man says he has become frustrated with the situation since it looks like his daughter's attackers may go unpunished.

"I ask myself, 'Why haven't they been arrested?' 'Is it true that it's all been arranged and that they won't do anything to them because of who they are and where they come from, and because some of them have political ties?' 'Why is there no punishment or justice? Why?'" Daphne's father wrote in a Facebook post.

According to Sin Embargo, Los Porkys is a "junior cartel" notorious for human trafficking and sexual exploitation. They tend to target young girls from good social and economic backgrounds. They kidnap, sexually abuse and sometimes murder their victims.

However, unlike the major Mexican cartels, Los Porkys use their social class and economic status to get away with crime. Members often come from well-respected and wealthy families.
