A Malaysian teenager was gang raped by up to 38 men in an abandoned hut used as a drug haunt, reports today suggest.

The horrendous assault is said to have taken place in the northern state of Kelantan, Malaysia, on May 20.

The girl is said to have met a friend, 17, before being lured to an empty hut - reported to be a drug haunt by local media. There are reports the friend was an accomplice to the alleged rapists.

The men then allegedly took turns to rape the teen for several hours. Some reports are suggesting there may have been up to 38 men involved.

There are reports the girl may have been arrested following the ordeal.

Police are investigating whether the girls friend was also raped.

Malaysian police have arrested at least 13 people, including a father and his two sons, over the alleged gang-rape, an officer said.

All of the men are from the same village, police confirmed.

Investigators claimed reports almost 40 people took turns in the rape may not be accurate - but said they were still investigating the attack. 

'It's definitely more than 10. We are still investigating,' one said.

Media accounts, quoting information from district police chief Azham Otham, said 38 men were involved.

Several of those detained had tested positive for amphetamine, the reports said. The New Straits Times said a man and his two teenage sons were among those detained.

Police said action could have been taken had villagers reported the addicts' presence.

'It is very disturbing to me that no one in the village was even suspicious when the closest neighbour was a mere 20 metres away,' police chief Azham told The Star.

The alleged attack, one of several brutal cases this week underscoring the violence to which women are being subjected across Asia, sparked outrage among women's groups.
