Polish Erasmus student raped in Istanbul: report An Erasmus student from Poland has been raped by two Turkish men in Istanbul, daily Sabah has reported.

The Polish student, identified as Maria N., began to search for a place to stay after arriving Turkey last August and rented a room from one of the suspected men.

Mehmek K. and his friend Engin Ö. asked the student to hang out together after helping her move in to the room. The three went to Engin Ö.’s house where the men reportedly mixed a drug into her drink.

The girl felt queasy and fell asleep before finding herself naked when she woke up.

An investigation has been launched into the incident after Maria N. filed an official complaint to the prosecutor’s office.

A lawsuit has been opened against the two men on charges of “deprivation of liberty and sexual assault.”
