An English schoolgirl has been raped while on holiday with her family at a nudist colony in the south of France.
The girl, believed to be from London, is alleged to have been attacked by a 19-year-old man in a caravan at the Bélézy camp, one of Europe's biggest for naturists, at Bédoin in the Vaucluse.
She is said to be under 15 and regularly attends the colony with her family, who are of Swedish origin.
The suspect is described as a ''brilliant" science student who lives locally. He denied the charge when questioned by an investigating magistrate.
Michel Roubard, a defence lawyer, said his client contested the police version of events and insisted that sex took place "by consent after an evening when both had been drinking".
The youth is being held in custody and theoretically faces up to 30 years in jail for rape of a minor.
The camp, which was established 30 years ago at the foot of Mount Ventoux, attracts about 2,000 nudists each summer and the alleged rape is said to have caused deep shock among holidaymakers. Counselling has been offered to young people at the camp.
Pascal Leclere, the colony's manager, said: ''As the father of two children who are also naturists, I could never have imagined something like this happening here.''
The camp was created by hippies and enforces a strict no-clothes policy, with a sign reminding visitors from all over the world that "full-time nakedness is a basic obligation".
Suzanne Piper, a British agent for the camp, said that she was trying to establish whether the victim was a 14-year-old girl whose family booked their holiday through her company.
She said security at the camp was usually first-rate, with an 8ft perimeter fence and access by swipe cards.
"One wonders where on earth this girl's parents were? It was the middle of the night and they seem to have allowed her to go out drinking with these boys."
A bunch of people running around naked like animals and somebody acts like one is what surprises him???
A lot of "Greens" and public socialists in the nudist movement.
Those 2 idiots aren't friends of mine, they are related to a friend of mine.
I don't need to meet new people, I do so almost every day.

Our family are naturists, these people are nudists
You are no father, you are simply a perverted POS if you let your children do this.
It is a basic tenet of human civlization that clothing should be worn in public. And that means in front of other people.
I'm not sure we should be asking.
I find it hard to believe that this hasn't happened before; however, it probably has, but it just wasn't reported.
Two teenage kids naked and drinking. Hmm, I can't figure out why it became sexual.
Oh please. I live so far out that I can go nude in my front yard. Doesn't mean that cars wouldn't start taking the scenic tour and guys wouldn't jump out of their cars to make my acquaintance, should I do that.
Ok, actually maybe people would speed up instead of stopping. sigh.
But it sounds good in theory.
If men are so jaded over the female form that they don't get aroused by the sight of it, i guess they stop making love to their wives, huh? How do they get all these nude children if they stop that????
LOL
But good parents don't encourage their children to walk around naked.
Did you hear about the lady who undressed in front of the window?She got crank calls demanding the shades be closed.
It's a different sort of Darwin Award these people deserve. They've hit upon a method of propagating their genes that has a high likelihood of success. (That goes for the parents as well as the young f***ers.) Usually the Darwin Awards are given to those who climb out of the gene pool, rather than those who dive into it head first.
That is your problem. Tens of thousands of males manage to keep the flag folded in the same situation.
Given your nature I don't think that the naturists would welcome you.
Okay whirleygirl, I'm calling on you to cite your source. In my 46 years, I've never met a conservative nudist, at least not one that would admit it. :)
