British tourist, 19, ‘drugged with laughing gas and raped’ on holiday on Greek island as cops arrest suspect, 37
A MAN has been arrested after allegedly drugging and raping a 19-year-old British tourist in a Greek holiday hotspot.
The 37-year-old was arrested following the victim filing a complaint with police, saying the man drugged her with laughing gas then assaulted her.
Following a search of the man’s accommodation, a gun and 2 ampoules of laughing gas were discovered, according to Iefimerida.
The man was then arrested for violating weapons legislation and rape.
Last month, two British tourists were allegedly raped in Greece in separate horror attacks.
The woman, 19, told cops on the island of Ios that she was sexually assaulted on August 17.
She said she was on a beach in Mylopotas when she was raped by an unknown man between 9pm and 10.30pm, reports Protothema.
The alleged victim said she had been drinking alcohol in the area before she was attacked.
It comes after another British woman was allegedly raped on holiday in Greece by a man she met at a nightclub.
The 21-year-old tourist was assaulted at the man’s home as his three friends filmed the horror attack, according to reports.
The woman had been partying with a pal in the Keramikos area of the city when she met the man and went back to his house – where she was allegedly raped.
After a struggle, she managed to escape the property and report the attack to the police, Protothema reports.
