It's not just organised gang rape, it's politicised gang rape. The intention is not just mass sexual assault of a woman, but political control, to stop any woman - all women - going into public spaces.
That's what (pace Jess Phillips and her idiotic "Worse things happen in the Bull Ring" comments, or Gaby Hinchcliff and her "Poor men, they only wanted the girls' mobile phones" act of Quisling complicity in defence of rape) was missed from the coverage. This wasn't like anything we'd seen before. Gang rape yes, but pre-planned, politicised gang rape, no.
