Police investigate alleged rape in Sharm el Sheikh hotel
A UK businesswoman claims she was sexually assaulted by a hotel security guard in the popular Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh.
Hampshire police are assisting with an investigation into the alleged rape in a luxury hotel in Egypt.
The woman, aged in her 40s, claims the guard attacked her after escorting her to her room on March 6.
A spokesman for Hampshire police told Sky: "Officers from Hampshire Constabulary’s specialist interview team are currently assisting with an investigation into a serious sexual assault of an English woman which is reported to have occurred in the Sharm el-Sheikh region of Egypt."
A Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) spokesman said: "We are aware of an incident involving a British national and we are providing consular assistance."
The FCO website warns that reports of cases of sexual assault against British nationals have increased during and since the unrest of early 2011.
It said: "In 2012, the FCO handled 23 cases of sexual assault and six cases of rape. Some assaults were against minors. Many occurred in what were considered to be safe places such as hotels."
