A five-year-old boy has allegedly been gang raped by a group of children - all aged under 13 - on a remote beach in an Aboriginal community in Far North Queensland.

The attack unfolded at Napranum, on the north-west coast of Cape York in  Queensland on July 1, police allege. 

The four boys accused of the rape have been taken into custody, while the 800-strong community has banned them from returning to the town, The Australian reported. The alleged attack was so violent the five-year-old required emergency medical treatment and was airlifted to Cairns Hospital, some 800km away.
