A vacation on the Greek island of Rhodes turned into a nightmare for a 56-year-old Norwegian woman, who reported being violently assaulted by her 54-year-old partner in their hotel room.
According to the police report, the man, reportedly under the influence of alcohol, allegedly pulled her hair, punched her face, pushed her to the floor, and even bit her cheek. The incident occurred on the evening of August 24.
Following her complaint, the man was arrested and charged with domestic violence and threats. However, the victim told authorities she does not wish to pursue criminal prosecution and only wants to end the relationship and avoid further contact.
The man denies the allegations, claiming that the woman locked him out on the balcony for several hours and physically attacked him when he re-entered the room.
The case was set to be heard at the Rhodes Single-Member Misdemeanor Court, but the hearing was postponed. Meanwhile, the man was released under strict conditions:
- He must change hotels to a location at least on the western side of the island.
- He is prohibited from approaching the victim within 20 meters.
- He may not leave the country.
- Direct communication with the victim is forbidden.
