The men took turns to r*pe her for hours. Police were also investigating whether her 17-year-old friend was also r*ped.
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.
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.
Politicians from a Muslim party running the region said their proposal to introduce Islamic hudud law, with harsh penalties, would deter offenders.
Suri Kempe, an official with women’s rights group Sisters in Islam, told Reuters that the frequent number of r*pe cases being reported was “extremely worrying”.she said in a statement.
Almost 3,000 r*pes were reported to the police in Malaysia in 2012, of which 52 percent involved girls aged 16 and below, according to police statistics.
