U.S. tourist raped in central Paris
Fear in central Paris after an American tourist was raped in a busy public toilet block
A 27-year-old female tourist was raped in Central Paris, nearby the busy River Seine.
French Police have arrested the 23-year old suspect, who is homeless, but have not released any further details.
The Paris Prosecutors Office says the attack was aggravated by alcohol. The woman entered the toilet at approximately 1:00am, while her boyfriend waited for her outside.
Her partner grew increasingly worried because she was taking a long time. He went to look for her when he heard her screaming and crying. He ran to her rescue when he found her being attacked by the perpetrator.
However, it’s currently the peak summer tourism period in Paris, and tourists are being warned to remain vigilant.
The toilet block is considered safe and is well maintained, located near the Notre Dame.

Australia becomes the first country to ban social media for under-16s
Australia bans social media for children under 16, marking a historic step in youth online safety regulations.
Australia bans social media for children under 16, marking a historic step in youth online safety regulations.
Australia has made history, becoming the first country to ban social media access for children under 16. From midnight, platforms including TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram will be blocked for young users across the nation. The move marks one of the strongest regulatory actions ever taken on youth online safety.
The new law requires ten major digital platforms to comply or face fines of up to A$49.5 million. The decision comes amid growing global concerns about the impact of social media on children’s mental health, with other countries watching closely as they consider similar measures.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says the ban is designed to support young Australians and reduce harmful pressures created by constant digital engagement. While platforms are preparing to use age-inference technology to comply, critics warn the ban could isolate vulnerable teens.
