SHE kept her dark secret for more than a year from all except her adopted sister.

Her secret, however, came out in the open after the 15-year-old student was arrested in an operation against Mat Rempit in Cheras, near KL, last Sunday.

The second child in a family of six from Cheras claimed she was gang-raped by Mat Rempit in August last year.

The teen, who has been involved in Mat Rempit activities since she was 13, said she went out with her boyfriend, who's in his 20s.

"After dinner, we went for a ride before he took me to a hotel... He told me that he wanted to see some friends."

She said after waiting in front of the hotel for several minutes, her boyfriend asked her to stay overnight at the hotel as he was too tired to send her home.

HELD DOWN

Later, eight bikers, aged between 19 and 23, arrived.

She alleged: "They asked me to remove my jeans and shirt, but I refused and asked my boyfriend to send me home. Instead, he told his friends to use force on me."

She said she could only cry as the group held her hands and legs. She was then raped in turns by them before she was sent home by her boyfriend.

The girl alleged that one of the suspects threatened her to not to tell anyone about the incident, or her family would pay for it.

"I didn't lodge a police report because I was afraid."

She alleged: "Also, one of them had recorded the rape with a handphone camera."

When she told her adopted sister about the incident, the latter slapped her. The girl told Weekend Mail that she was allegedly not the only rape victim of the gang.

But why is she still hanging out with the Mat Rempit despite her ordeal? The girl said she does it as it is the only way to forget about her family problems.

She was among five bikers and a pillion rider arrested in the operation last Sunday by the KL traffic police.

They were remanded and investigated for dangerous riding and abetment.
