Canadian tourist raped in Sicily after visiting girlfriend in hospital and inviting employee to her B&B

Two Palermo men, ages 44 and 41, were arrested Monday in connection with the rape of a 30-year-old Canadian tourist at her B&B in Sicily.

The victim allegedly told police that she had met one of the two men, who was a hospital porter, while visiting her boyfriend in the hospital after he had suffered a minor injury.

She told officers that she and the doorman started talking and she invited him back to her bed and breakfast. The tourist described him as ‘very nice’, but ‘after a certain point I don’t remember anything,’ she reportedly said, according to ANSA.

The porter was joined by another man and allegedly took turns raping the tourist, she told the police.

The victim reportedly took a forensic sexual assault exam, more commonly known as a ‘rape kit’, which allegedly confirmed she had been assaulted.

The names of the victim and the suspects have not been released.

The latest report comes shortly after a barman accused of raping a British tourist was arrested last month by police in Naples after traces of his DNA were found on her clothing – eight months after she reported that she had been attacked in a nightclub in Naples.

The suspect reportedly served the young woman drinks and chatted with her while she was drinking at the bar with a friend last July.

When she went to the bathroom, he followed her and brutally attacked her, according to local media.

She told police: ‘Suddenly he was on top of me and I saw his trousers down. There was no consent from me at all. I did not give my consent.’

Although the woman returned to England, she co-operated with Italian authorities by providing DNA evidence and continued to help police track down her attacker

After the attack, the victim – believed to be in his early 20s – went to hospital and reported the incident to the police, who launched an investigation.

Two French tourists are believed to have helped the woman and her friend in the aftermath of the alleged attack and provided them with police contact details.

Although the woman returned to England, she co-operated with Italian authorities by providing DNA evidence and continued to help police track down her attacker.

She returned to Italy in December and provided prosecutor Mariangela Magariello and deputy prosecutor Raffaello Falcone with additional statements and identification.

After reviewing the evidence, which also included video footage, police arrested the bartender yesterday.

Naples Judge Carla Sarno ordered him to be kept under house arrest after prosecutors and victim’s attorney Lucilla Longone said there were fears he might try to escape.

Italian media reports that the suspect is 27 and was the owner of the bar, which is located in the historic Decumani area of ​​the city.

According to the victim’s testimony, he saw the two British women walking by and invited them into his bar for a drink, Corriere della Sera reports.

Police are still investigating.

A woman, 29, said she was sexually assaulted by a tattooed man, believed to be 25, at the Terme di Milano spa (pictured) in the center of the Italian city, according to local media.

In February, another case occurred where a British tourist was allegedly raped at a spa resort in Milan.

The woman, 29, said she was sexually assaulted by a man with distinctive tattoos, believed to be 25, at the Terme di Milano spa in the center of the Italian city.

The English tourist claimed the man approached her in the spa while she was relaxing with a friend. They allegedly knew each other and had consumed alcohol together.

After inviting her to follow him into the men’s locker room, the suspect turned violent and raped her on Monday night around 10 p.m., reports Italian newspaper Il Giorno.

She screamed for help and attracted her friend’s attention, prompting the man to flee.

Italian Carabinieri police officers are searching for the alleged rapist after the Briton reported the assault after returning to his hotel at around 11pm.

The man is said to be 25 years old, Italian-Moroccan and has several tattoos.
