The young man implicated eight others in the assaults \u2014 all of whom were Mennonites within the Manitoba Colony, except for one.<\/p>\n<p>Perez remembered a conversation he had with a police officer after the men of the colony reported them.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He told me, &#8216;Doctor, some Mennonites have brought men here who they&#8217;re saying are rapists,'&#8221; Perez said.  &#8220;The image we have of Mennonites in Bolivia is that they work from six in the morning until nine at night, they&#8217;re very religious, and they don&#8217;t dance or get drunk. So when I got that call from the officer, I just couldn&#8217;t believe it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In August 2011, seven were sentenced to 25 years in prison at Palmasola, a prison complex in Bolivia.
