The security forces arrested Thursday the security personnel accused of raping a British tourist at a hotel in Sharm el-Sheikh on 6 March.
He was identified through the biological analysis of samples taken from the rape scene. A security source told Al-Masry Al-Youm that the defendant erased the surveillance videos in order to conceal his crime.
Authorities say the defendant confessed to the crime, after which he was referred to prosecution, the source added.
Other sources said the tourist's divorced husband filed a complaint of the incident to the police after the victim refused to file an official claim by herself.
