Woman says police didn't take her claims of being sexually assaulted by apes seriously

A British tourist claims to have been sexually assaulted by apes while visiting Gibraltar. Melissa Hart, 23, travelled to the Rock on a day trip from Marbella in Spain, excited to see the famous Barbary Macaques.

But when two began to pull at her clothes and hair on top of the Rock, she began to panic while other tourists close to her laughed. “I felt totally helpless as these two monkeys grabbed and pawed me in my most intimate areas,” she revealed. “Then, with a yank, one of them pulled my bikini top straight off.”



Hart, a baker from Macclesfield, continued: “I was being sexually assaulted and these people all thought it was a great joke.” Her screams quickly attracted the attention of a warden, who ran in and freed her. However, she was so angry she insisted in filing a police report, which also failed to go to plan.

When she revealed to the policemen on duty she had been attacked by the monkeys, they were unable to take her claim seriously. While a policeman told her he was ‘sorry’ for her ordeal, he added that apes are ‘wild animals’ and cannot legally commit a crime. “And if they could, do you think you could pick out your attacker in a line-up?” added the officer, evidently struggling not to laugh.

Some of those monkeys are evil little things. When we went there, one of them grabbed a hold of my hair and yanked the hell out of it. Plus, they are demanding of the drivers for treats. However, in that case, it is a trained response.

Her most intimate areas? These animals have learned that people often have food in their clothing. If you are wearing a bikini top where are they going to look for food? Maybe this has taught the lady a lesson about clothing appropriate to the situation. A bikini is for the beach.

Don't blame the victim Gareth, If you ever go there you'll witness for yourself the male monkeys masturbating in front of everyone! It's quite shocking actually. They're insanely sexual.
