Two women from Detroit in the United States are demanding justice after alleging they were raped while on vacation in Jamaica last week.

One of the women shared their ordeal with the Detroit Free Press in an article published today.

The alleged incident occurred last Thursday, the last night of their Jamaican getaway.

According to the report in the US paper, at 11:15 p.m. Thursday, a gunman crawled up their balcony and barged into their second-floor room at the resort in St. James. It’s reported that the two were raped.

One of the women reported that the nightmare lasted for about 15 minutes until one of them got hold of the gun and shot the attacker twice before he jumped off the balcony and fled.

She told the publication that she is haunted by the incident  and just wants to know why, adding that  she wants justice for the  attacker to pay for a night of hell that ended with her walking through a hotel half-naked, finding her way to the reception desk and placing a gun on the counter.

She said she told front desk personnel she and her friend were raped by a gunman and that she shot him

The woman added that they were not contacted by the US Embassy until four days after returning home from their vacation.

The victim who shot the suspect is a medical lab operator and mother of a 3-year-old girl from Detroit’s west side who went to Jamaica with a friend last week to celebrate her 33rd birthday.

Her friend is a health care employee, though she has remained private so far about the incident.

The two had planned this trip for months and each spent $1,200 for the all-inclusive, five-night getaway at the beachfront hotel.

Meantime, the man accused of rape is in the custody of the St. James police.

H was held, after he turned-up at hospital in another parish at the weekend, seeking medical attention for a gunshot wound.

It’s understood that the police conducted a question and answer session with the suspect.

The man is said to be a trainee entertainment coordinator, at the St. James based hotel.
