A British woman was raped on a beach by a waiter, who later apologized to her on Facebook. Fern Westland, 20, had befriended Sabri Demir during her stay in Alanya in Turkey last month after the two had just met in a hotel.

The woman who visited the man was dragged to the beach and subjected to multiple sex attack, says the Daily Record reports. She was left traumatized and shaken after Demir apologized for raping her.

She said: “We had been at a local restaurant called Brothers and had been introduced to the owner’s brother and his friend, who agreed to show my friends and I to a club. Everything had been fine until Sabri got drunk and started touching me inappropriately.

“Sabri grabbed me from behind and slammed his hand over my mouth. I couldn’t breathe and was trying to push him off me but he dragged me along the sand before holding me down and raping me. I was trying to scream but he just kept telling me to shut up.

“I was terrified and couldn’t breathe, I knew I had to get away from him. I was afraid I was going to die. Then I managed to get him off me and I ran to my friend in the hotel.”

Fern said that just hours later, Demir began to hound her with messages. She said he told her: “I’m really sorry. I don’t know why I did that. Please forgive me.”

Traumatized, depressed and brutalized, Fern returned to Scotland a week later and told the police about the horrifying rape. She showed the police evidence of her bruises and demanded for her assaulter to be arrested and prosecuted.

Detective Sergeant Calum Lawrie, of Fife’s public protection unit, said: “On Thursday, 8 October, we received a report of the serious sexual assault of a 20-year-old woman that took place in Turkey on Friday, 25 September.

“We are conducting initial inquiries and all the information gathered will be provided to the Turkish authorities for them to progress the investigation.”

When approached by the Record on Facebook, Demir replied: “Sorry, I am so sorry. I did not do anything. I have not had sex with her.”

He then contacted Fern on Facebook, writing: “Sorry. I am so sorry. Why are you complaining about me? Why are you complaining to me for sex? You really did not complain to me.”

Fern has been traumatized since the incident and hopes that police will hold Demir responsible for his action.

“I want him off the streets to make sure he can’t target any other women like me,” Fern said.
