Two Brit tourists raped ‘after being drugged while nightclubbing & waking up in hotel room’ in Spain
TWO Brit tourists have allegedly been raped in the Spanish city of Valencia after being drugged on a night out.
The suspected sex attack victims alerted detectives after waking up in a hotel room near a shopping centre called Nuevo Centro after partying.
They have been described locally as two brothers who raised the alarm after discovering they had injuries to their private parts “consistent with a rape”.
The pair believed they had been drugged while on a night out.
In June it emerged police in the same east coast Spanish city were investigating the alleged rape of a 28-year-old Irish tourist.
He told detectives he had been sexually assaulted on the last night of his holiday in Valencia.

That incident is said to have occurred on June 18 on an old riverbed after he agreed to go for a walk with two men “of Arabic origin with a French accent” he had met in the city’s emblematic neighbourhood of El Carmen.
No arrests are yet thought to have been made.
One local report at the time said the holidaymaker had told officers his clothes were torn from him before he was forced to have sex during the stroll.
The latest incident was reported to police on Sunday.
