British sisters, 18 and 19, ‘are raped in a hotel by two British brothers they met in a nightclub’ in a medieval town on a Greek island
Two British sisters claim they were raped by two men they met during a night out on the Greek island of Rhodes.
The teenagers, aged 18 and 19, told police they had been at a nightclub in the island’s medieval old town on April 27 when they struck up a conversation with two British men.
The group spent time drinking and socializing together before leaving the venue later that evening.
According to their story, they then went to a nearby hotel, where they were divided into different rooms with the men.
It was there, the sisters claim, that they were attacked after initially agreeing to go back with them after their night out.
They reported the alleged assault to police shortly afterwards, prompting an immediate response from local authorities and the start of a formal investigation into the claims.
Officers from the Rhodes Crime Investigation Unit acted quickly to locate the suspects and arrested the two men, who are believed to be brothers, following the women’s statements.
A case has now been opened against them as part of the ongoing investigation.

Investigators are now gathering evidence, including witness statements, CCTV footage from the area and any relevant forensics, to gain a clearer picture of what happened that night.
The two suspects are expected to appear before the prosecutor, who will determine next steps in the case as the investigation progresses.
This isn’t the only shocking incident to happen on a Greek island recently.
In October, police arrested a Nigerian hotel worker after a British tourist was allegedly raped on the island of Kos.
The 45-year-old victim told officers that she was sexually assaulted by the 42-year-old man in her room on Monday around 7 p.m.
She said she had been drinking and that the hotel employee had taken advantage of her condition.
After an investigation, police officers from the Kos Criminal Investigation and Prosecution Department located and arrested the suspect. He is being held before appearing before the prosecutor at the Kos District Court.
