British tourist claims Gibraltar’s apes sexually assaulted her

belinda pringles monkeyA BRITISH tourist claims to have been ‘sexually assaulted’ by monkeys while visiting Gibraltar.

Melissa Hart, 23, travelled to the Rock on a day trip from Marbella, excited to see the famous Barbary Macaques.

But when two began to pull at her clothes and hair atop of the Rock, she began to panic while other tourists close to her laughed.

“I felt totally helpless as these two monkeys grabbed and pawed me in my most intimate areas,” she revealed.

“Then, with a yank, one of them pulled my bikini top straight off.”

Hart, a baker from Macclesfield, continued: “I was being sexually assaulted and these people all thought it was a great joke.”

Luckily, her screams quickly grabbed the attention of a warden, who ran in and freed her.

However, she was so angry she insisted in filing a police report, which also failed to go to plan.

When she revealed to the policeman on duty she had been attacked by the monkeys, they were unable to take her claim seriously.

While the policeman told her he was ‘sorry’ for her ordeal, he added that monkeys are ‘wild animals’ and cannot legally commit a crime.

“And if they could, do you think you could pick out your attacker in a line-up?” added the officer, evidently struggling not to laugh.

  1. Funny how this story gets written and yet the resignation of the Governor of Gibraltar, Sir James Dutton, doesn’t even get a mention. Bizarre reporting from the OP.

    • The TOWIE stories and “Ape Attack” seemed to get promoted more when I looked. I searched for Gibraltar before posting btw, no results for Dutton’s resignation. Website playing up again Karl? lol

      • Governor of Gibraltar Sir James Dutton story was on the OP’s home page and and it was lead story in the Gibraltar section too. Web site working fine thanks Fred – and we achieved all-time record stats at the weekend. Thanks for your contribution to them ;-)

        • See Fred is still at it. Didn’t bother to read any contributions by Fred, I take him with a “pinch of salt” until he stops squirming. Has he apologized to Jon yet?.

  2. Further proof that feminism has gone to far. Are kidding me!? She literally accused monkeys of sexual assault. Funny now but what happens when this femnazi gets a little older and has a man wrongly pit in prison?
