American tourist fractures her back after plunging off a cliff to escape sex attack in Thailand: report

 

 

A 23-YEAR-OLD American woman says she fractured her back falling 45m down a cliff in Thailand during a desperate attempt to flee from a sex attacker, according to a report.

 

The New York Post reports Hannah Gavios got lost at Railay Beach in the resort of Krabi on September 1 — a day after arriving in the country — and sought help at a local tourist shop.

 

A worker at the store offered to help her get back to her hotel but instead led her up a pitch-black mountain in the Jungle, where he attacked her.
