A serious allegation of sexual assault has emerged from the popular tourist destination of Rhodes, the largest of Greece’s Dodecanese islands, where a 35-year-old Norwegian woman reported being raped in a nightclub restroom. Authorities are currently searching for the suspect, a man believed to be around 30 years old.
According to the complaint filed with local police, the incident took place while the woman was out with a friend at a nightclub on the island. The suspect reportedly approached her and asked her to leave the venue with him. She declined, stating she was in a relationship and not interested. The man then disappeared from view.
However, it appears that he remained inside the club and continued to observe the two women. When the Norwegian tourist went to the restroom, the man allegedly followed her, struck her on the head, and raped her.
The woman reportedly began screaming, prompting the suspect to flee the scene shortly after the assault. She immediately contacted authorities and filed a formal complaint.
Police have launched an investigation and are actively searching for the suspect. No arrests have been made at this time. Authorities urge anyone with information that may assist in identifying or locating the suspect to come forward.
