Tourist woke up alone in a house
On the night of the 30th to the 31st, at around 4 a.m., the complainant went, with one of her friends, to a shisha bar with a man they had met during the evening.
The thirty-year-old then found herself isolated in this establishment, before waking up, alone, in a house in which there were many mattresses laid out on the floor. The complainant says she then felt “pain” in her private parts.
Worried about not seeing her return to their hotel, her friends alerted the police on Saturday August 31 at around 1 p.m., before managing to geolocate her using her mobile phone.
Alerted, the Paris public prosecutor’s office instructed investigators from the 1st judicial police district (DPJ) to continue the investigations.
