NewsA British tourist who was raped by at a luxury hotel in Sri Lanka was denied compensation by the Court of Appeal, in UK, the Daily Mail reported. The woman was on holiday with her husband at Club Bentota Hotel when she was attacked by the uniformed hotel employee. She sued tour giants, Kuoni Travel Ltd, through which she booked the 2010 package tour to one of the island's most prestigious resorts. The hotel had taken up his references before employing him and neither Club Bentota nor Kuoni could have predicted the sex attack. The Court of Appeal reached its decision by a majority, with one of the three judges saying that he would have upheld the woman's appeal.
