Six Irish women have reported to a charity that they were sexually assaulted while on holidays in the last ten days.
The Cork Sexual Violence Centre says young women from the country have come to them after being abused abroad.
The charity says they were all separate attacks in different places but all have similar trends.
Founder of the centre Mary Crilly, says there has been a spike this year in reports: "They meet these guys during the day, they hang around the same apartment block maybe, they go back to a party. Or they meet guys in a niteclub. and they are Irish lads as they call them, and they go back to their apartment. And that is where the shock comes in. Because they don't believe this would happen. They have gotten to know the guys quite well during the day and think they are quite safe."
