Video: Nigerian Rapist Arrested In Budapest
A Nigerian man who raped a woman in Budapest has been arrested, the Budapest Police Headquarters said on its website on Monday.

According to the police statement, a woman made a complaint on Saturday that she was raped in an apartment in District 7.

The woman told the investigators that she had contacted the man on a website advertising sexual services and he visited her at her apartment. She asked for the agreed amount in advance but the man refused to pay, raped her and then fled.

Police analysed footage from surveillance cameras in the area and identified the alleged perpetrator, a 22-year-old Nigerian citizen, E.I. Joseph, who was detained four hours later.

The man, studying at a university in Hungary, denied his guilt.

Hungary Today

Launched online long after XpatLoop.com, this 'government-related' source states its aim is "to provide a complete, unbiased picture of Hungary”. However the site also says that this “does not necessarily mean that our writers do not have their own opinions,” which is useful for our readers to keep in mind. Another stated aim expressed is to become “the leading English-language news portal of Hungary”, which is a role that XpatLoop has successfully fulfilled independently for well over two decades. That noted, our team is open to occasionally sharing a useful Hungary Today article - with their permission of course - for the benefit of our readers.
