A 26-year old Greek woman has become an overnight national hero after setting fire to the genitals of a 23-year old drunken Briton who allegedly tried to sexually assault her in a crowded bar.
The unidentified woman from the fiercely proud island of Crete won herself even more praise by doing the right legal thing – turning herself over to police and the courts to be put on trial for what she claimed was her "right to self-defence". She will face a magistrate on Friday to see if the case will go to court.
She is currently facing an investigating magistrate on charges of causing bodily injuries to the Briton and of endangering private property.
The Briton himself, whose name is expected to be released later, is currently in a private clinic in Heraklion, the capital of Crete island, being treated for second degree burns to his testicles and penis.
According to a police statement issued last night the incident occurred at a club in the notorious coastal resort of Mallia, which is dominated by young Britons seeking all-night revelry.
It alleged the Briton took down his trousers and started waving his genitals at a number of girls. He then specifically "forcefully fondled" the 26-year old Greek woman, asking her to take hold of his genitals.
After asking him to stop harassing her, the police said, she poured the alcoholic drink Sabucco (Sambucco? - Nick) on his genitals (an Italian brand type of Greek ouzo or French Pernod drink).
This again allegedly failed to stop his advances, so the woman seized a lighter and set fire to the alcohol-drenched genitals, local press reports said.

Hot Pants!
If his Nurse is sympathetic to the woman they may not restrict his reading material.
It brings the new meaning of “FireFly!”
Good for her.
When I was living in Slovakia from 2005 till this January,
I saw groups of British and Irish guys fly in for stag parties.
They were the bane of the town, peeing in fountains, destroying monuments, and screaming at the top of their lungs all night.
Normally I’d say “setting his thighs on fire...you’re doing it wrong”. Here, not so much. If she’s telling he truth, he really should be thanking God it wasn’t worse.
Barbecued Weiner alert!
When you fry ‘em, they are called `Mountain Oysters`
Wow! Was the blue flame visible in the ambient light?
As Gregory Peck's character said in The Guns of Navarone when asked about receiving a death threat from a Greek, he said:
"He's from Crete, those people don't make idle threats."
He should have taken the hint the first time.
What is it with guys that they think they are some kind of God’s gift to women like that?
Sheesh, it isn’t like they have something no one else has had before. There’s a whole planet full of people equipped just like them.
Don’t mess with those Greek chicks. One way or another it’s going to end up burning when you pee.
Havin a hot time.
Ur doin it rong.
A vacation to remember.
Uh...
I meant, specifically, the chicks at that resort.
Boy did that come out wrong.
I’m not touching it, either way. :-P
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire....
If you are a man, Greek women will play hard to get, but once you have her, you get rid of her at your own peril...
British men overseas are the WORST when it comes to the treatment of local women. Of course, when you come from a country where 90% the women are buttafaced skanks, you would probably act that way too.
I have a friend from Crete. You are VERY much correct.
My mother dated a Greek man (with a daughter) back in the ‘60s... didn’t quite work out.
Agree! Good for her. The other patrons in the bar should have helped her.
Frankly he’s lucky. He should be a eunuch now and in a castle or monastery dwelling on his stupidity. Any man who does this should be dealt with severely.
