Police have arrested a Nigerian hotel worker after a British tourist was allegedly raped on a Greek holiday island.
The 45-year-old victim told Kos police officers in Greece that she had been sexually assaulted by the 42-year-old man in her room at around 7pm on Monday.
She said she had been drinking and that the hotel employee took advantage of her condition.
Following an investigation, police officers of the Kos Criminal Investigation and Prosecution Department located and arrested the suspect, who is being held before appearing in front of the Kos District Court prosecutor.
It comes just months after another British tourist claimed she was sexually assaulted during a massage on a different Greek island.
The 37-year-old had been staying at a hotel on Rhodes when she said she was touched inappropriately while on the massage table in June.
The employee touched her with the fingernail six times in a disputed area but the holidaymaker said there was no need or context as to why the masseuse touched her there.
She told cops at the Ialisos Police Station that she felt uncomfortable and offended by the ‘indecent and violating’ behaviour, it was reported in local paper Proto Thema.
She added that there was no consent for the employee from the hotel in the Kremasti area for that specific contact, which was an ‘insult to her sexual decency’.
The tourist, who had been visiting the popular Greek island as part of her summer holiday, has filed a lawsuit for sexual assault and indecent assault.
The police launched an investigation into the alleged assault.
One month later, in July, an 18-year-old British woman was allegedly raped at a party spot on the Greek island of Corfu.
The unnamed woman, who is said to have been on holiday, filed the complaint in the early hours of the morning.
After an investigation was launched, police arrested a man, who is claimed to have been with the alleged victim.
The 19-year-old Italian man was taken to the prosecutor’s office and is set to face a judge on Thursday.
The woman was reportedly partying at a shopping mall before the alleged incident took place.
According to local media, the alleged perpetrator was not remanded in police custody.
Cops called on anyone with more information to come forward.
Corfu is one of Greece’s most sought-after holiday destinations and attracts around 500,000 Brits each year.
