Seven men have been convicted of gang raping a teenager in northeastern Romania and sentenced to prison in a case that has caused national outrage, AP News.
The 18-year-old woman was repeatedly raped and sexually abused in November after she accepted a lift home. The suspects were later arrested pending trial.
The case gained national attention after a court ruled in June that the suspects could remain free pending trial. Around 400,000 people signed a petition calling for them to be held in custody, but the men remained free.
In Monday's ruling, the judge ordered that the men be arrested.
