Brit mum raped on holiday in Corfu as ‘hotel worker’ arrested over ‘sex attack’ after night out
A BRITISH mum has reportedly been raped on the Greek island of Corfu after coming back to her hotel after a night out.
A man who police sources say is a worker at the hotel has been arrested after the woman gave police a description of him.
The woman went to police in the early hours of Sunday morning to tell police the man had attacked her.
She was said to be in a “bad condition” when she arrived at the station on the north of the island.
A police source told The Sun Online that the woman had been on holiday with her boyfriend in northern Corfu.
After a night out, the couple came back to the hotel but the woman woke to find the man on top of her, the source said.
Police then arrested a 40-year-old man based on her description and brought him to the station, where the tourist identified him as her attacker.
The man has denied the charge of rape and claimed that the woman consented to sex with him.
He remains in custody while a case is being brought against him.
