===Bolivian rapes=== In a [[Mennonite]] community in Bolivia, eight men were convicted of raping 130 women in [[Manitoba Colony, Bolivia|Manitoba Colony]] over a four-year period from 2005 to 2009, by spraying "a chemical used to anesthetize cows" through the victims' open bedroom windows. The perpetrators would then wait for the women to be incapacitated, whereupon they entered the residences to commit the crimes. Later, the women would awaken to a pounding headache, find blood, semen or dirt on their sheets, and would sometimes discover their extremities had also been bound. Most did not remember the attacks, although a few had vague, fleeting memories of men on top of them. Several men and boys were also suspected of having been raped. While additional actors were thought to have participated, they were never identified nor prosecuted; in fact, the rapes did not stop with the incarceration of the original eight men.<ref name=VICE>{{cite web |url=https://www.vice.com/en/article/the-ghost-rapes-of-bolivia-000300-v20n8/ |title=The Ghost Rapes of Bolivia |author=Jean Friedman-Rudovsky |access-date=23 August 2013 |publisher=VICE.com}}</ref> When two of these men were caught in the act of entering one of the women's homes, they implicated friends in the rapes to local authorities. Eventually nine Manitoba men, ages 19 to 43, were charged with using a spray adapted from an anesthetic by a veterinarian from a neighboring Mennonite colony to subdue their victims, then raping them. Eight of the accused were found guilty of rape, one escaped from the local jail before the end of the trial, and the veterinarian was found guilty of being an accomplice to the rapes. According to at least three residents of the colony, a local prosecutor, and a local journalist, these "ghost rapes" continue despite imprisonment of the men convicted in the 130 original rapes.<ref name=VICE/>
