Masseur ‘R@pes 71-year-old Woman After Massaging Her’

A masseur has been detained in Portugal after allegedly r*ping a 71-year-old woman.

The 71-year-old British retiree went to police after reportedly being s*xually assaulted following a massage session with a 47-year-old in the Algarve resort of Quarteira.

Portugal’s Policia Judiciaria police force confirmed the arrest of a 47-year-old man in the Algarve municipality of Loule, where Quarteira is located, saying: “Last Friday the Polícia Judiciaria arrested a 47-year-old man strongly suspected of raping a 71-year-old foreign national at a massage centre in the municipality of Loule.

“The alleged victim reported the incident which the police found out had allegedly occurred after a massage session.

“As a result of the investigation, conducted by the PJ’s Southern Directorate, officers were able to gather some very relevant evidence.”

A source close to the ongoing investigation added: “We are waiting for the medical reports to build up a full picture of what happened.

“Police are also looking into the arrested man’s background to see if there have been prior cases involving this individual.

“In these kinds of cases, victims very often don’t go to the police out of shame or trauma although for now, the information police have been able to gather on the detainee doesn’t point to him having previous arrests or convictions in Portugal for any s*x crimes.”

The unidentified man has previously been in court and been granted bail, with the condition that he sign on every week and agree not to contact his alleged victim or her family.

A Gentle Reminder: Every obstacle is a stepping stone, every morning; a chance to go again, and those little steps take you closer to your dream.
