Brit tourist gang-raped twice by three men in horror double attack in Benidorm after they snatched her from pub
A BRITISH woman was gang-raped repeatedly by three men in a horrific attack in Benidorm after they snatched her from a pub.
The attackers were jailed for over eight years each after being found guilty of the horrendous crime following trial at a court in Alicante.
Judges found they raped the Brit tourist twice in just four hours.
They forced themselves on her after approaching her near a pub and taking her to a secluded spot where they sexually attacked her.
The first rape occurred in a park near a football ground in the Costa Blanca holiday resort and the second near El Cisne flea market.
She managed to escape after being taken to the second spot and alerted her mum when she got back to their hotel.

The convicted rapists, a Spaniard and two Moroccans aged between 24 and 34, have not been named ahead of a possible appeal.
Prosecutors said they were seeking sentences of just over 12 years for each of the men when they went on trial in November last year at Alicante’s Audiencia Provincial Court.
A court official said ahead of the trial that the men allegedly began chatting to her in a Benidorm pub before carrying out their sick attack.
After the assault, the men then stole from her.

He added: “State prosecutors are seeking prison sentences of twelve years and three months for three men accused of sexually abusing a woman several times.
“The victim fled the scene as soon as she could but before she did, the men allegedly stole a watch and ring from her valued at £365."
The victim, who gave evidence from the UK via video link, said she remembered coming to on the back seat of a car with her clothes unbuttoned.
Her legs were outside of the vehicle after being taken from the unnamed pub she had left to have a cigarette outside.
The Brit woman told the court she also recalled feeling pain in her sexual organs and seeing “three or four men” near her.
The horrific gang-rape happened during the early hours of October 2 2016.
The judges, who delivered their verdicts in a long written ruling, described the victim’s account of what had happened as “credible”.
Other evidence, including a 999 call from a witness who saw a woman walking half-naked along a road near to where the second series of rapes took place, was also taken into account.
Last October cops arrested two men over the rape of another British tourist near Benidorm in a separate case.
Detectives revealed the holidaymaker was sexually attacked after agreeing to pay two men who offered to take her back to her hotel in their car for £13 as she waited for a taxi in the famous Costa Blanca resort.
