More than 500 male students and staff at a French school will undergo DNA tests from Monday in a bid to discover who raped a 16-year-old girl in a dark school toilet.

法國一所學校逾500名男學生與教職員將從週一開始進行DNA檢測，以找出誰在黑暗的學校廁所內強暴一名16歲女孩。

The tests, a first in a French school, will end on Wednesday and target 475 high school students, 31 teachers and 21 others present on the premises on September 30 when the rape happened.

這項法國校園首次的DNA檢測將於週三結束，檢測對象為475名高中生、31名老師及21名去年9月30日強暴案發生時，出現在相關建物的其他人員。

The schoolgirl was assaulted in the private Catholic Fenelon-Notre-Dame high school in the southwestern Atlantic port city of La Rochelle.

該名女學生是在法國西南部大西洋港市拉羅歇爾的私立天主教費內倫聖母高中內慘遭施暴。

The attack took place after the light from an automatic time switch went off and she therefore could not give the physical details of her attacker. There are a total of 1,200 students in the school.

這起攻擊在自動定時開關關閉照明後發生，因此她無法提供攻擊者身體細節。該校學生共有1200人。

The cost of the operation will be around 5,000 euros and saliva swabs will be taken and matched with DNA found on the girl’s clothes.

這項檢測耗費約5000歐元，將採集唾液拭子，然後與女孩衣服上發現的DNA進行比對。

Isabelle Pagenelle, the prosecutor of La Rochelle, said both parental and individual authorisation was necessary for minors undertaking the test. She said there would be no forced DNA testing but added that "those saying no can become potential suspects who may be detained."

拉羅歇爾檢察官帕日內爾說，未成年者進行檢測必須經過父母與個人同意。她表示，並未強迫做這項檢測，但「拒絕檢測者將成為可能的嫌疑人，可能會遭到拘留。」

The school’s principal Chantal Devaux said the rape had hitherto remained a secret and only investigators were in the loop. （AFP）
