Three bar managers have been named as major suspects in dozens of drug-assisted sexual assaults being investigated by Belgian authorities. The victims were allegedly drugged before being attacked in a number of nightclubs where the alleged incidents occurred.
Prosecutors claim that the suspects targeted victims and tampered with drinks while stationed in bars throughout Brussels and other cities. As they learn more about the full scope of the case, law enforcement officials are now collecting evidence and encouraging additional victims to come forward.
Authorities have warned the public to exercise caution when they are in bars and nightclubs. Officials promise the public that swift legal action will be taken against those responsible, and support services for victims have been activated.
More arrests and court cases are anticipated in the upcoming weeks as the investigation continues.
