Police are investigating allegations that a tourism worker raped two British women on the Greek holiday island of Zakynthos. The women, both 18, reported that they met the man during their visit to the island. Following the alleged assault, both individuals sought hospital treatment and examination. They also informed their families of the incident. The mother of one of the women traveled to Greece and reportedly located the accused man at his workplace. The situation escalated, leading to an altercation that required police intervention. Authorities are currently looking into the allegations, and the investigation is ongoing.
This incident follows similar reports from July, where an 18-year-old British teenager accused a 50-year-old security guard of sexual assault in Malia, Crete. The accuser stated that the man, whom she did not know, stopped her in the early hours of the morning outside a hotel and subsequently took her to a secluded area where the alleged rape occurred. Local police investigated, located the suspect, and made an arrest. The suspect was identified as a security guard from the Heraklion area.
Another case reported in June involved an 18-year-old woman alleging rape by a fellow British holidaymaker in Crete. The incident reportedly occurred after she was followed into a bar bathroom. A 19-year-old suspect was arrested and transferred to a courthouse in Heraklion. The victim stated she had met the alleged attacker once before encountering him at a bar in Malia, but they did not maintain friendly relations. She claimed the man led her to the bar's bathroom, where the alleged rape took place. The accused tourist has denied the charges, asserting the encounter was consensual.
