ATTACK ON THE BEACH

Turkey: 17-year-old German raped in Side

While on a nighttime walk along the beach, a 17-year-old German was allegedly attacked and raped by six men in the vacation resort in southern Turkey. Arrest warrants meanwhile have been issued for two of the suspects.

Five days before her 18th birthday, the young woman whose name is given with just the initials C.T. was attacked and abused according to the findings by the authorities. The accused are construction workers who were employed at the erection of a new mosque near to the crime scene. C.T., like millions of other Germans, came to Turkey to spend her summer vacation by the sea. Why the girl went for a walk at night along the beach, and whether she was alone was still inconclusive on Wednesday. In the meantime, the presumed victim has returned to Germany.

According to investigations by the District Attorney’s office, C.T. was attacked and raped at 3:30 a.m. local time on Wednesday of last week. The authorities were notified by the victim and her traveling companions. The German consulate in Antalya offered the young woman consular aid according to statements of the Bureau of the Exterior in Berlin. A few Turkish media reported that C.T. went together with her family to the police after the violent act. According to other reports, the young woman was not with her parents, rather she went along with her boyfriend and possibly a group as well. The German comes from Düsseldorf and is apparently living at the time Schleswig-Holstein.

In the search for the assailants, the investigators happened upon recordings from surveillance cameras among other things. The images of the suspects led them to a construction site in the vicinity where a mosque is being built. As is commonplace in Turkey, the workers were sleeping at the construction site. Four of those under suspicion of the rape were arrested at a midnight assignment at the mosque’s building site, two other suspects had already settled back in north Anatolian Corum. They were also arrested and brought to the hearing on the southern coast.

A magistrate in the county town Manavgat remanded the two main suspects; the other four accused remain free on their own recognizance, but will still have to be answerable to the court. For the men there is the threat of a long-time incarceration at sentencing. The Bureau of the Exterior stated that it will have to await the results of the investigations. The time of the trial against the accused was still unknown on Wednesday.

For the vacation resort in Turkey that earns billions (Brit. milliards) of euros every year from tourism, the security of tourists has to be the highest priority. Only a few months ago, the authorities announced the employment of undercover policemen and surveillance cameras against men who engage in the molestation of female foreign vacationers at the beaches of the country.

Sexual violence against women is widespread in Turkey, and according to the opinion of some Turks, not every woman can depend upon the police and justice to take all appropriate measures in order to find the criminal(s). The authorities would hardly have proceeded as quickly and with as much determination as they did with the presumed rapists of the German woman, if the victim had been a Turkish female, one reader of the online edition of the newspaper “Vatan” complained on Wednesday. “Then, they would have let all of them go again.”
