Two men who gang-raped Brit, 18, as she lay on sunbed after morning swim on Greek holiday are jailed
TWO men have been jailed for life for gang-raping a British woman on her sunbed in Greece.
The two Pakistani men, aged 27 and 24, attacked the then 18-year-old on a beach in Rethymno – a city in the north of Crete – in July 2022.
The men – who have not been named – reportedly approached the Brit as she sunbathed on a sunbed before launching their horror attack.
The young tourist tearfully told Rethymno court how the two men pinned her down on the sunbed and raped her, Protothema reports.
She is said to have reported the rape to the cops immediately after the horror assault on the Greek island.
Detectives launched an investigation and swiftly identified and arrested two suspects.
The two men reportedly confessed to the gang-rape at the time of their arrest.
But during their court appearance this week, they claimed the victim had consented.
On Wednesday, judges sentenced the two men to life in prison.
They will serve time in prisons in the Greek city of Tripoli.
According to reports, the two men have appealed the sentence.
It comes after another British tourist was allegedly raped by a taxi driver in Crete last year after he took her to a remote spot instead of her hotel.
The 43-year-old woman told the cops she was attacked in the resort town of Hersonissos after the man picked her up from a bar.
Meanwhile, a British tourist was reportedly raped by a member of staff at the hotel where she was staying with friends in Corfu.
The young woman, 21, reported to police that an Albanian bartender, 23, raped her after luring her to his apartment in the beach town of Agios Georgios.
