The vicious, hours-long attack occurred before dawn Monday at a house that six Spanish men, six Spanish women and a Mexican woman had rented on a quiet, idyllic stretch of beach on the outskirts of Acapulco.<\/p>\n
The attackers gained access to the house because two of the Spaniards were in the yard and apparently were forced to open the door, Acapulco Mayor Luis Walton told a news conference late Monday.<\/p>\n
The five attackers burst into the house and held the group at gunpoint, he said. <\/p>\n
They tied up the six men with phone cords and bathing suit straps and then raped the six Spanish women. The Mexican woman was not raped.<\/p>\n
Guerrero state Attorney General Martha Garzon said the Mexican woman begged the men not to rape her and the assailants told her they would spare her because she is Mexican.<\/p>\n
“Fortunately we have strong evidence to lead us to those responsible for this reprehensible act,” Garzon told Radio Formula.<\/p>\n
The attack began about two hours after midnight Monday and the victims were only able to report the crime five hours later, at nearly seven in the morning.<\/p>\n
