A 52-year-old British mother has reported being sexually assaulted by a parasail instructor during a family holiday in Tunisia, according to sources close to the investigation.
The incident allegedly occurred while the woman was participating in a parasailing activity, a popular tourist attraction in the coastal resort. The instructor is said to have assaulted her mid-air, leaving the victim traumatised.
Local authorities have been notified, and an investigation is underway. The British Foreign Office has confirmed they are providing consular assistance to the woman and her family.
Outrage and Calls for Justice
The alleged assault has sparked outrage among tourists and locals alike, with many calling for stricter regulations on adventure sports operators in the region.
"This is a horrific incident that should never have happened," said a spokesperson for a travel safety advocacy group. "Tour operators must ensure the safety and well-being of their clients at all times."
Travel Safety Concerns
The case has raised fresh concerns about the safety of British tourists abroad, particularly in destinations where oversight of recreational activities may be lax.
Experts advise travellers to research activity providers thoroughly and to report any suspicious behaviour immediately to both local authorities and the British consulate.
