UK woman, 35, 'tries to rape another female British tourist, 20, in bar toilets' on Greek island of Rhodes

A UK woman has been arrested for allegedly trying to rape a younger British woman in a bar toilet on the Greek island of Rhodes. 

The alleged attacker, 35, is said to have followed a younger woman, 20, into the toilets of a bar in the town of Ialysos at around 1.30am on July 14, according to several local media outlets.

The 20-year-old woman, who reported the incident to local police that night, claimed that the older woman approached her, before subduing her and trying to force herself onto her.

Cops called the alleged perpetrator, who voluntarily came to the town's police station with her own partner, whose role in the incident is not currently known. 

While the defendant denied the charges and presented her own version events, the alleged victim handed the police her underwear, which is expected to be sent to a laboratory for examination.

Prosecutors have also taken a DNA sample from the alleged attacker, which will be send to the Forensic Investigations Division of the Hellenic Police, Greece's central law enforcement body. 

The results of the tests are expected in the coming days, which will determine any upcoming legal actions. 

Last year, a 21-year-old British tourist accused a Greek man more than twice her age of raping her in her hotel room. 

The 21-year-old said she was attacked at around 2am in Pefkos and made a complaint to the local police hours later, prompting a case to be opened.

According to Greece's ANT1News, the young woman's lawsuit claimed the older man took her from a 'health care store' in Lindos, found on the south of the island, to a hotel in Pefkos - the main city on the island that sits around 15 miles from Turkey.

There, the outlet reports, the woman claims the man forced her to have sex with him through threats of physical violence.

Upon making her complaint, the police asked a medical examiner to carry out an assessment, ANT1News said.
