Rape victim asks Madeleine McCann detectives to review her case
Exclusive: Irish woman says an earlier assault by new McCann suspect is similar to that on her....................................................................
Behan added: “I had little hope over the last 16 years that they would find the man who did this.
I was told at the time that I should just be quiet, that if I talked about what had happened I would bring bad publicity to the resort and put off the tourists.“Then I read about the poor American woman who was raped in September 2005 – who I would love to talk to – and the possible link that was being made between her attack and the person who abducted Madeleine McCann, and I was so full of anger, I knew in my gut it was the right thing to do to speak out.
“I think if the police had done their job investigating what happened to me, if this is indeed the same man that attacked the American and abducted Madeleine McCann, they might have prevented the attack on her, and Madeleine would now be at home with her parents.”
