Panaji, January 13: The 32-year-old British woman, who was allegedly raped at an isolated place on the outskirts of city, said she was assaulted before being raped, police said.

She had hitched a ride from an unidentified motorcycle rider to go back to her lodge, after attending a cultural programme, on Friday night, they said.

The lady, who earlier had decided to hire a taxi, agreed to go with the accused on his bike, as she had met him during the cultural programme which they both attended. Later, he took her to an isolated place, where she was assaulted and raped, police said.

"We are awaiting medical examination reports of the victim who came to the police station in injured condition," Deputy Superintendent of Police Mohan Naik said.

Police said the accused can be tracked down with the help of the passes issued to people for the cultural programme.

This is the second case of abuse against foreigner registered in this tourist state during this week. Earlier, a Russian lady had complained of molestation against a shack owner in south Goa who had allegedly tried to drag her in the jeep.

British tourist assaulted. by Hemant on 14 Jan 2008

Ok! This has nothing to do with the British tourist being assaulted and raped. Not cool. Anyway, try again. First write everything in a word document. Then run spell-check on it. After that proof read it. Make sure whatever you write makes sense (not to you) to other people. Then re-read what you have written. See if you can add some back-ground to what you have written so people may know where you are coming from. Basically, just be calm when you write. If you are in an excited state you will mess up whatever you write. I honestly don't have a clue what you have written, whom about and why?
