A young woman from the UK who was raped while on holiday in Turkey was told by a government office to carry on with her trip and "enjoy it," a watchdog has found.
The victim, referred to as Ms B, was said to have been "treated with contempt" by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and was denied the opportunity to take legal action, according to the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman.
She even received a message from the Vice Consul which said: "What you now have to do is to carry on with your holiday and enjoy it," the PA News Agency reports.
