Italian police have arrested five hotel workers accused of raping a Kent woman in a holiday resort.

The arrests come after the British woman claimed she was drugged and gang raped in Italy.

The tourist, who is in her 50s, is said to have been attacked in Sorrento, near Naples, in October 2016.

She was allegedly given a date-rape drug in a drink she accepted from two barmen on the last night of her holiday.

She claimed she was then taken to a hotel room and raped by the two men before being assaulted by at least three other men, who raped her in a different room, national newspapers have reported.

On her return to the UK, the woman, who can't be named, contacted police and DNA testing was ordered.

Mobile phones of male employees at the hotel were seized and the suspects were allegedly found to have chatted about the attack and exchanged photos taken of the woman while she was being raped.
