Maid claims she was raped by 87-year-old boss.

A SRI Lankan housemaid has told police that she was raped by her 87-year-old employer just before Christmas.

The 37-year-old, who looks after the Larnaca district widower, said the alleged incident took place on December 18. The 87-year-old has denied his employee’s claims, police said.

Investigators told the Cyprus Mail the fact that the woman reported the alleged rape 25 days after the fact meant that even if she were to undergo a medical examination, it would reveal nothing.

Since the incident, the 37-year-old woman has moved in with a friend. She reported what happened to authorities on Wednesday, police said.
Kiti police station is investigating.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
