A 26-year old Greek woman has become an overnight national hero after setting fire to the genitals of a 23-year old drunken Briton who allegedly tried to sexually assault her in a crowded bar.
The unidentified woman from the fiercely proud island of Crete won herself even more praise by doing the right legal thing turning herself over to police and the courts to be put on trial for what she claimed was her "right to self-defence". ..
According to a police statement issued last night the incident occurred at a club in the notorious coastal resort of Malia, which is dominated by young Britons seeking all-night revelry. It alleged the Briton took down his trousers and started waving his genitals at a number of girls...
After asking him to stop harassing her, the police said, she poured the alcoholic drink Sabucco on his genitals (an Italian brand type of Greek ouzo or French Pernod drink). This again allegedly failed to stop his advances, so the woman seized a lighter and set fire to the alcohol-drenched genitals, local press reports said.

Hey,Spiro,do you need anyone to oil you up???
Charged with “endangering private property”...
Sometimes the charges just write themselves!
Sorry FRiend, I disagree with you. The woman did right. She should be applauded!!!! Put her jail? You got to be kidding!
Epic failure on the Brits part...
They also have a parenting problem. Were all these young adults raised by wolves?
Build a man a fire, and he will be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he will be warm for the rest of his life
Forcible fondling and demanding sexual gratification with a naked, no doubt business-directed package? Not stopping after she tells him to and throws a drink at her?
I don’t care if the guy was drunk or not, that to me is felonious sexual assault and the woman has a right to an escalated self defense.

*him*
Good for him!
I used to spend summers in Crete, firing missiles into the Med.
At times, the constant influx of NATO soldiers and sailors can be a bit much, especially in the port cities.
One of our battalion’s sergeants was arrested and convicted of raping a local Hania/Xania/Chania woman (you wouldn’t believe how many ways they spell that city’s name).
Well done, Ma’am.
When they outlaw alcohol, only outlaws will get drunk...
Actually, Crete.
I remember, ‘Christmas day in Souda Bay, New Year’s eve in Tel Aviv’
The Spartan way of life, draconic rule by militarized aristocrats over subject helots, apparently originated on Crete and was imitated by Sparta.
Hmmm. I must have missed that. I thought the guy was just waving his thing around and sending out engraved invitations, but if I would READ...Okay, maybe the guy had it coming then. I know I would have done something much worse if that happened to my wife.
Not the Ouzo !
Fiery woman.
