Fact Check

We started our investigation by taking some screenshots from the viral video and conducting a reverse image search. As a result, we found a report published in Malay language on a website on 10 March 2021. Translation of the headline read, "Taking the Law into Its Own Hand, a Dog Bites Off a Rapist's Genitals Until They're Severed!" The report contained the screenshots from the viral video.


According to the report, the incident allegedly occurred in Mexico City. A gang punished the man in the video for the sexual crimes he had committed.

Taking this clue we conducted a relevant keyword search and found a report published in "The Sun" on 9 September 2019. According to the report, "A MEXICAN gang stripped a suspected rapist naked and castrated him by making a pit bull terrier eat his genitals. The man, reported to be in his 30s, received the barbaric public punishment for an alleged assault on a woman in Mexico City".

Further, we found another report published on the "Daily Star" website on 9 September 2019 which stated, "A Mexican gang tortured an alleged rapist by stripping him naked in the street before making a pitbull eat his genitals, a distressing video has shown. The unnamed man in his 30s was set upon after allegedly sexually attacking a woman in Mexico City last month"...

"...The attackers are said to have made the video public as a warning to other would-be attackers in the crime-ridden city."
