Greek man arrested for reportedly raping Irish tourist in Rhodes

The 23-year-old Greek is also accused of theft.

Newsroom June 29 11:58

A Greek man was arrested for the alleged rape of a 20-year-old Irish woman in Rhodes. Within a few hours, the police officers of a local police department managed to locate the suspected rapist of a 20-year-old Irish woman, who had drugged her by putting the “rape pill” in her drink and had taken her to a beach in Rhodes, where he sexually abused her. In fact, the 23-year-old Greek is also accused of theft.

The young tourist had complained that she had gone with her group to a bar in Faliraki, where she did not drink much alcohol, but around 1.45 am on Tuesday morning, she felt intense dizziness and weakness. For five hours she had memory loss, but she remembered leaving with an unknown man, who had probably spiked her drink.

As the 20-year-old testified in the presence of a psychologist in the morning she woke up on the beach without her underwear, with signs of blows on her nose and signs of bruises on her anus, while her bag and mobile phone were missing. The young Irish woman underwent a forensic examination which confirmed that she had been sexually abused and a case was filed against an unknown person for rape and theft.

However, the police used visual material they found from store cameras in Faliraki Square and identified the man with whom the 20-year-old left the bar. The 23-year-old alleged perpetrator of the rape was arrested on Wednesday morning and taken to the District Attorney of Rhodes, who ordered him to remain in custody until he apologizes to the investigator.
