  "account": "Two men from Chatsworth, Diveshan Chetty, 32, and Fiaaz Mohamed Khan, 41, were denied bail at the Chatsworth Magistrate's Court on Wednesday. They appeared in court on June 29, charged with kidnapping, raping and assaulting a 20-year-old man from Montford. The victim, who is known to the accused, was allegedly kidnapped, raped and assaulted with a baton. Video footage of the crime was taken on a cellphone but mistakenly sent to someone, who then alerted the police. During their arrest, the men were found with drugs. Vanessa Chetty, founder of The Hope Foundation, expressed disgust over the heinous attack and highlighted the rising cases of rape against men and boys. She emphasized the lack of reporting due to the stigma attached to male victims and urged the public not to share the video, as it could cause severe psychological damage to the victim.",
  "summary": "“The rape and assault was captured on video on a cellphone. A packet and a towel were placed over his head and a baton was used to sexually assault him.",
