I don't know. I do know that the notice I mentioned about crime in Nassau specifically mentioned three American tourists being sexually assaulted by jet-ski operators at Paradise Island. So yes, it does happen. How often it happens, I couldn't say. Apparently often enough that the State Department has raised the threat level for the Bahamas.

Instead of talking with her friends or family or playing on her phone or taking photos? I don’t check out other women’s legs. And the bruising wasn’t that vivid that it woukd grab her attention..

Agreed. Also, it's odd that the two women claimed they were raped on a secluded part of the beach, but the nurse claims that they were found unconscious in the bathroom of the resort? Just way too many discrepancies in their narrative. The nurse is also claiming that she is extremely traumatized by all this, and at the rate she's selling her story to the tabloids and the likes of News Nation, I think we can expect a civil suit from her as well.

For whatever it's worth, someone from the same town as the women has been posting on social media that they have made similar accusations in the past.

Except it was resort staff in uniform that spiked their drinks.

With cocaine (which their own lawyer said was found in the toxicology results)?

That doesn't happen. Cocaine isn't used to "spike drinks."

If the resort has the video footage they claim to have, these women don't have a case.

In their own words, these women tested positive for methamphetamine, cocaine, and "opiates." So now they're "spiking drinks" with meth as well as cocaine. Right.

Warning — this video is really cringe. I had to pause it several times.

These women are not credible IMO.

It does seem that there is another case of sexual assault in the Bahamas..this an 80 yo dementia patient.

I still think it would be highly unlikely anyone would notice such slight bruising.

She was another passenger, she went on the excursion, too.

I would imagine most young girls something like this happens to, never tell anyone.
What difference though does it make, how many incidents there have been?
