Gaddafi raped hundreds of teens, kept them as sex slaves, says new documentary

A new BBC 4 documentary has come out with details of Libyan dictator Colonel Muammar Gaddafi allegedly torturing and raping of hundreds of girls, who were kept as sex slaves, during his 42-year reign in the North African nation.

The shocking revelations have come to light more than two years after the dictator was captured and shot dead by a mob in October 2011 after his regime was defeated in an uprising backed by NATO forces.

According to the Daily Mail, Gaddafi's sex slaves were virgin students from schools and colleges who were kidnapped at the behest of dictator and kept confined to in his dens where he allegedly raped and sexually assaulted them.

The report also said the girls were forced to watch pornography for 'education'.

The expose, according to BBC 4, came from a woman who fled from one of the dictator's dens.

The report also shows a room with gynecological equipment, where sex slaves were supposedly forced to undergo medical examination for STDs, and later abortion.

The report also said that many of the girls, after being repeatedly raped and tortured, were dumped in car parks or waste ground where they died.

The report quotes a survivor as saying that she was whisked away to the lair by Gaddafi's female bodyguards.

She was then stripped, shaved, forced to wear a G-string and makeup and pushed into the bed where Gaddafi was waiting.

The documentary, titled 'Storyville: Mad Dog - Gaddafi's Secret World', is based on interviews with insiders in Gaddafi's palaces and his victims.
