A National Report article called “The Assam Rape Festival In India Begins This Week” went viral, appalling many readers who believed the story.
On Nov. 2, National Report published a story about an annual rape festival celebrated in the northeastern state of Assam in India. The story described how every unmarried girl between seven to 16 years will have the chance to flee to safety or get raped.
The story quoted an organizer of the festival who said this was an ancient tradition of Assam where the man who raped the most women would get a trophy.
It also quoted a festival participant who said he had been training all year for the event by raping his sister and her friends every day. He said he wanted to be a "rape superstar."
The website also published a picture which was captioned as last year's rape festival in Assam.
