“I went inside a tourist shop and asked for help back to my hotel. They said it was dangerous to do at night so they told me to follow one of their workers.
”I didn’t get the best feeling about him but I was tired and wanted to get home. I’d been travelling for 16 hours so I guess I wasn’t feeling myself.
”I followed him up this trail and I was asking him ‘is this the right way’. We were going up this steep mountain and using a flash light and I started panicking.
”While he was walking he grabbed me and was holding me down and trying to take off my clothes.
”I started punching him in the face and beating him up and biting off his ear. I was biting his ear so hard it almost came off. His ear was half torn off.

“He got on top of me. He took of his pants and masturbated.
”He didn’t rape me but he did everything else. I really thought I was going to die.
