The boyfriend of a British woman who was “gang raped” in Faliraki fled in tears “after one of the alleged rapists tried to kiss her” and left her pal with them, hotel workers reveal
- The Brit claimed she and her friends met the group of up to eight Belgians at a nightclub in the seaside resort of Faliraki in the early hours of Sunday morning
- The alleged victim said the men took her and her friends back to the hotel
- She claimed the group of men attacked and raped her in the hotel room
The boyfriend of a Brit who claims she was gang raped at a Greek hotel fled in tears minutes before the alleged attack, staff revealed.
Two British women arrived at Hotel Mon Repos in Faliraki on the holiday island of Rhodes with four Belgian men just after 3am on Sunday before going to a second-floor room together, staff said.
But one of the women reappeared shortly after – crying and saying one of the men tried to kiss her, according to hotel owner Efthymios Kovaios.
The woman left the hotel, Mr Kovaios added, leaving her 31-year-old friend alone with the men for about 40 minutes when the alleged attack took place.

Mr Kovaios said a staff member went into the room in question after the first woman left and knocked on the door to make sure everything was okay.
But “everything seemed fine,” added Mr. Kovaios, so the employee left.
The second woman then showed up and a short time later got into a taxi back to her own hotel and did not appear to be in distress, Mr Kovaios said.
She has since told police she had consensual sex with one of the men in the group on the hotel balcony and in the room.
During that time, her friend left the room, she said.
But at some point, after her friend left other men from the group – who she estimated at five to eight people between the ages of 30 and 35 took part.
The alleged victim said the group of five to eight Belgian men, believed to be between the ages of 30 and 35, then took her and her friends back to their hotel room in Faliraki
She told police they forced themselves on her and raped her.
The woman told police she fled the hotel and took a taxi back to her hotel.
She reported the alleged gang rape to police at 7 a.m. local time Monday morning.
Police launched an investigation and have since arrested four Belgian suspects, whose names have not been released.
The British woman has identified the four men as her alleged rapists.
Investigators took DNA samples from the four men.
Mr Kovaios said he also gave investigators CCTV footage from the hotel, which he says shows the woman kissing one of her alleged attackers.
“It was all normal and they both looked happy. They kissed passionately, she got in a cab and drove home,” he claimed.
