Problem is the Sinhalese think all western women are hard up like them for sex. In the west, being friends is not an invitation for sex. A western women will complain if she is sexually molested, but local women will not do that due to shame and worse problems when Police thugs get involved.

Though tape is bad. But these western women need to know that allowing any man in a hotel room after being drunk is not a good idea….whether Srilankan or other nationality man

This must be a woman with Sri Lankan roots. May be they were living together and now the woman wants revenge.

Nice.That is how we going to bring more tourists to this country. Now politicians must order to release these culprits. If there is no law and order in the country for female tourists to walk freely, no one should travel to that hororland.

Tangalle is a very famous place for these types of crimes.Tourists respect Sri Lankans as human beings with polite and humble attitudes but our people take the advantage of it.

I have seen young local boys travelling with foreign women all over the island. Such women are not Angeles. They arrange everything through internet before coming to SL. They hire a young boy to accompany them throughout their stay. Women who may be in their sixties share the same room with boys in their twenties. One hotel owner in Kandy, said that those boys are called deal kollo. Looks like the Germans have given all the wrong signals.

We expect tourism to boost our already weakened economy. This will certainly not help the course. Whom to blame ?
