A barman accused of raping a British tourist has been arrested by police in Italy after traces of his DNA were found on her clothing - eight months after she reported she had been attacked in a Naples nightclub.
The suspect reportedly served the young woman drinks and chatted with her as she drank in the bar with a friend in July last year.
When she went to the toilet he followed her and brutally attacked her, according to local media reports.
She told police: 'Suddenly he was on top of me and I saw his trousers down. There wasn't my consent at all. I didn't give my consent.'
After the attack, the traumatised holidaymaker, who is believed to be in her early 20s, went to hospital and reported the incident to police, who launched an investigation.

Although the woman returned to England, she cooperated with Italian authorities by providing DNA evidence and continued to help police track down her attacker.
She returned to Italy in December and provided prosecutor Mariangela Magariello and deputy prosecutor
