Two British sisters have accused two men of rape following a night out on the Greek island of Rhodes. Local police have arrested the suspects and initiated a comprehensive investigation into the allegations.

Details of the Alleged Assault

The alleged incident occurred on April 27th in the historic medieval town of Rhodes. The sisters, aged 18 and 19, claim they were attacked by two British men they met at a nightclub.

According to the sisters’ report, they spent several hours with the two men, consuming alcohol and socializing before leaving the nightclub. They then traveled to a hotel near the nightclub, where they were separated and placed in individual rooms with the men.

The Sisters’ Account

The sisters allege they were sexually assaulted in their separate rooms after initially consenting to return to the hotel with the men. They promptly contacted the police following the alleged attacks.

Police Response and Investigation

Rhodes authorities responded swiftly, launching a formal investigation to examine the sisters’ claims. The two suspects, believed to be brothers, were quickly identified and arrested by the Rhodes crime investigation unit.

A legal case has been opened against the men, and authorities are meticulously gathering evidence. This includes collecting witness testimonies, reviewing CCTV footage from the nightclub and hotel area, and conducting forensic examinations.

Upcoming Legal Proceedings

The two suspects are scheduled to appear before a prosecutor who will assess the evidence and determine the next steps in the investigation.

Similar Incident on Kos

This incident follows a similar alleged assault reported in October on the island of Kos. A 45-year-old British tourist alleged she was raped by a 42-year-old Nigerian hotel worker in her hotel room.

Following an investigation by the Kos Criminal Investigation and Prosecution Department, the suspect was arrested and is currently awaiting a court appearance.

Increased Security Concerns

These recent incidents have raised concerns about tourist safety on Greek islands and prompted calls for increased security measures. Local authorities are under pressure to protect visitors and ensure justice for victims.

The Greek government has expressed its commitment to addressing sexual assault, including increased police patrols, improved lighting, and educational programs on sexual consent and responsible alcohol consumption.
