Hidden away in rural Bolivia, an ultra-conservative Mennonite religious community was subject to one of the strangest rape cases of all time — with some even stranger outcomes. Over 100 women in the small colony were assaulted while unconscious from 2005 to 2009, all while their families lay asleep next to them. Today the attacks are known as the Bolivian "ghost rapes" because, when the culprits were not immediately identified, many people within the community resorted to supernatural explanations to understand what was happening. Shielded by a combination of superstition and shame, the perpetrators got away with attacking women en masse for four whole years.
