Aruba: Tourist Woman Reports Rape in Aruba on Eagle Beach

 

It is being reported by AWE24.com that a tourist woman was raped in Aruba. The woman went to the hospital accompanied by police. Could this be more bad PR for Aruba? An island that has still yet to recover from the disappearance and the handing of the case of Natalee Holloway. If true, this will be another situation not good for tourism.

UPDATE I: Confirmation of woman’s story in Aruba

We have talked to sources in Aruba and Jossy Mansur of Diario and have confirmed that a woman has reported a rape to police. The rape is reported to have occurred on Eagle Beach.

I was able to confirm the news. It happened on the Eagle Beach, in the area of the low-rise hotels. The victim did go to the hospital accompanied by the police. We don’t know yet if she was attacked by one or more persons. Those are the only details available for now but we will have the rest of the story sometime tomorrow.

      bleachedblacked,

      Whats with the name Brandon Pieterz?

    2. Klaasend on June 14th, 2008 7:49 pm

      Posted by Destiny in the forum:

      There are several things that keep rolling around my little brain after multiple calls to multiple places today on Aruba…

      #1…the ALE officer was so quick to tell me how very drunk she was…how she instigated the sex on the beach…and only filed rape charges against the innocent 3 local guys after they took photos of her…and she got mad….He know I was calling from the US…I always tell them right off the bat.

      He was trying to illicit sympathy from me for the 3 guys.

      #2 I called 3 other ALE agencies…and was told they had heard nothing about it.

      #3 I called beach patrol…they knew…but seemed very anxious…and insisted I call early Monday AM to another # and name they gave to me…after jabbering all to each other in pap and raising their voices at each other…no laughing this time..like when I called them regarding the NH case a long time ago…

      #4…the Call to Moombas…after telling my story…I was put on hold…then passed to the bar manager….we talked some…and at one point in our conversation he..out of the blue…asked me if I was the girls’ mother…that seemed very strange to me…

      just mulling the days events over…TIA for any feedback…sometimes making these calls can be a bit draining…but I still give good phone….and the best on weekend..cause you get the weekend staff…the ones who feels left out of the loop on their own turf….they like to talk more….

      Brandon is a lawyer … his name came up before as well as everyone’s else’s who lived there.
      Hope the girl gets assistance from those in charge ( that would be a first )and the help she is going to need.
      And gets away from Aruba. Quickly.

    4. richard on June 14th, 2008 8:54 pm

      My understanding is that she was an American. And that the police were trying to talk her out of pressing charges against anyone, saying essentially that it was her fault because she was drunk. There are other details, too … thanks a million, Destiny, for passing all of this on.

      One wonders if the media are going to pay much attention, especially if this lady says that, as with Traci Allen and so many others (not even to mention what Beth and Dave have gone through), the Aruba police were indifferent or hostile.

      We can be sure that our government and tourist industry will sit by with hands folded and say and do nothing. If we let them, that is.

      When he first heard of the incident, it is reported that Dennis Jacobs choked on his friggen frosted flakes and started babbling something about a debit card.
      Bob Smith called Jorge Pasquere and asked if he wanted his old job back.
      Robert DeWitt imediately retired as he said he has no experience at all in this type of case.
      Charles Croes wish he never heard about her.
      Freddy said I forgot my camera but not to worry they will show it again on the 11:00 news.
      Seriously this has got to get on US TV and fast. I have no contacts… Anyone want to try.

      the rapes and killings will continue in aruba.
      the local punks will continue to do it time and time again, because nothing will happen to the rapists and killers.

      Hey Aruba,

      Do you hear that eerie ghostly creaking sound?

      That’s the sound of a huge boat being whipped around so that we can square up on you broadside.

      U may have just given us that magical nuke, so to speak, to finish your disgusting li’l hineys off!!!!

      Why hasn’t anyone investigated Joran’s Father? I see him as a heavy duty hard suspect for a cover up. One day someone is going to slip up, they always do.

      First we see Joran PARTYING with an American GIRL on an ISLAND, then he’s NAKED on the BEACH and showing us more hand SIGNALS, then he’s in a SPEEDBOAT and calling himself “king of the OCEAN”…..then following all of that an American GIRL is RAPED on the BEACH on the ISLAND of Aruba….is there some connection with all of this and Joran’s pimp friends in Aruba….

    12. Susan on June 15th, 2008 8:05 am

      richard – What exactly is it that you expect OUR government to do about crimes committed against American citizens in Aruba and/or any where else around the world? You know as well as everyone else that our government has no jurisdiction outside of our borders. Influence maybe, but no legal jurisdiction.

      I’ve always felt the State Dept should issue a “travel warning” to Americans traveling to Aruba, especially after the way the corrupt Aruban/Dutch authorities handled Natalee’s disappearance. The sad fact is, if you travel abroad and become a victim of a crime, you are at the mercy of that country’s laws.

      BOYCOTT ARUBA AND THE NETHERLANDS TIL HELL FREEZES OVER!!

      JUSTICE FOR NATALEE :-)

    13. buster on June 15th, 2008 8:13 am

      even losers (native aruban’s) need to get laid I guess ??? Why anyone would go to aruba is a mystery to me ??? I mean if you go to aruba expect the worse !!! How can you make it any clearer to the people that still go to aruba ???
      But then there are women wanting to still marry scott peterson even after his conviction ???

    14. richard on June 15th, 2008 8:14 am

      What you say is what I recommend. I’ve outlined other things that we COULD have done in Natalee’s case, as in Amy Bradley’s … since the Dutch embassy oversees foreign affairs for Aruba, we could have summoned the Dutch ambassador for talks to show our concern.

      We could have done other things.

      But our own government did nothing.

      We do have considerable influence. Unfortunately, for whatever reasons, our government chooses not to use it.

      So we the people can, and should, react when a foreign government is complicit in a cover-up of a crime against an American citizen. And the cases of Natalee Holloway and Amy Bradley fit this category.

    15. MissKatie on June 15th, 2008 9:23 am

      WE KNOW THAT JORANS IN THAILAND

      IT’ WAS PROBABLY DONE BY PAUULUS AND THE KALPOE BROTHERS…

    16. MissKatie on June 15th, 2008 9:25 am

      ARUBA HAS CHANGED A BIT.. A TOURIST RAPED.. NOT GOOD PUBLICITY!! WONDER IF IT WAS HER LAST DAY ON THE ISLAND.. BECAUSE WE KNOW USUALY TOURIST WOMEN ARE TARGETED THE DAY BEFORE LEAVING HELLS ISLAND!!!

    17. MissKatie on June 15th, 2008 9:25 am

      MEANT TO SAY ARUBA HASNT CHANGED A BIT

    18. MissKatie on June 15th, 2008 9:30 am

      WONDER IF THIS GIRL KNEW ABOUT NATALEE AND WHAT HAPPENED TO HER.
      IF SO SHE CAN DEFINETELY CONFIRM THAT ARUBA TENDS TO BLAME THE VICTIM.. VICTIMIZING THEM MORE..
      THEY DONT CARE IF THEY NEVER COME BACK OVIOUSLY.
      AND WORD OF MOUTH IS VALUABLE TO US IN OUR EFFORTS TO CONTINUE THE BOYCOTT.. THEY SAID THREE BOYS RAPED HER AND THEY TRIED TO TAKE PICTURES THAT SOUND LIKE EHAT HAPPENED TO NATALEE ONLY NATALEE DIDNT SURVIVE THE BRUALITY OF THE CRIME INFLICTED ON HER BY THE KALPOES AND JORAN AND MAYBE EVEN PAUULUS….

    19. waterboy (Jerry) on June 15th, 2008 9:32 am

      This case really does not surprise me. I think that in the eyes of Arabian police authorities any woman who comes to Aruba has consented to sex with who ever wants it just by setting foot on the island. That has been how Natalee’s case has been handled. They simply refuse to proceed with the case.

      In what other case where you have a taped confession has a prosecution refused to proceed? I can’t think of any. They proceed in a lot of cases and get a convection in cases where a “cell mate” tells what he (usually) or she has been told by a cellie.

      In the case of Joran, we have a full-blown taped confession (audio and video) where he admits he was with Natalee when she died. As Art Wood and others have said, criminals never admit fully to what they have done, especially a sociopath like young Joran.

      Even if you believe only what Joran said in the video, there is enough to send hi to prison. However, what should be done is to bring him in and start asking him questions about his story, other parts will come out.

      My interpretation from what Joran said on the video while with Patrick is as follows (in Joran’s words): I drugged Natalee, and while she was in and out of consciousness I raped her several times over a couple of hours. At one point she came to and struck out at me, hitting me in the face. I hit her repeatly and then strangled her until she had a seizure and died. I wrapped her body in plastic and put her in a dumpster at the lighthouse. She was small and limp. It was like handling a wet washrag. I coveded her body with material in the dumpster, so no one would see. It was her fault, she should not have made me angry. I feel no remorse. I had the right to do what I did, because she got in the car with me. I have always insisted on having my way. That is just how it is. No one will do anything with me, because of who I am. I am very important. I don’t deserve to be punished for something that was totally someone else’s fault.

      DEJAVEU

      I am almost willing to bet that in the case of this woman raped.. some of the same character’s were involved.

      and somehow I wouldnt be surprised that they are doing these pictures for pauulus to market.. seems bazaar.. but remember he has been hanging a low profile and now is at it again.. perhaps funds are low and anitas pictures arent selling …

      their sons running loose like a loose cannon in thailand.. partying… running naked and claiming to be the king of the ocean.

      the ocean holds many secrets pertaining to joran and his daddy and the pimnps!!

      you can bet there are many skeletons in that closet…

      but like one of the posters said… they will slip up.. its only a matter of time…

      karma is on our side.. god doesnt like evil or ugly and sooner or later they will pay.. in which manner who knows … it wont be pretty.. wouldnt be surprised if pauulus falls dead of a heart attack … from all he has to endure with his out of control mental case lunatic son.. he is lunatic too by the way but than we all know that…

      justice for nataleee

      Americans need to stay out of aruba.. travel agencies wont tell them about aruba
      because they will loose money

      money is what hinders the word to get out fully…..maybe we need to get a bunch of monkeees together… to go to aruba and picket the court house… make national news… picked up by greta and nancy and many other stations.. than exposure would be available to the world… to tell the world of the injustice of aruba…

    23. SS on June 15th, 2008 9:55 am

      Can anyone currently on Aruba be of help to this newest victim? She is staying at the Holiday Inn. She needs advice about the tactics of ALE and the Aruban male mentality that assumes every woman who visits that island lusts after the locals. Someone, please help this woman, and I don’t mean Julia Renfro.

    24. MissKatie on June 15th, 2008 10:00 am

      p.s

      joran wouldnt be the only reason pauulus would suffer a neart attack!! its all his shady criminal doings… when you live that kind of life style .. there is no peace to speak of.. your always looking over your shoulder that you dont slip up

      oh wait!!!

      no problem there aruban officials look the other way .. for a little extra cushioning in their pockets…

      thats why they look the other way.. it pays

      crime pays for them…

      they lost their integrity long ago.. all of them….

      even if they didnt accept money … they kept silence for fear of intimidation

      what a dirty bunch of scoundrels!!!

    25. Carpe on June 15th, 2008 10:26 am

      Agreed, Jerry. …and all throughout this hideous

      3 year odyssey , that dilapidated old gas bag of

      a so called Queen they’ve got… (sheesh!)

      Misses Clara Bell Come-Uppance Tits… she

      does not do or say a thing!

      US Department of State…searched under Aruba…Information for Victims of Crime…. if you are a victim of a crime while overseas, in addition to reporting to the local police, please contact the nearest US Embassy or Consulate for assistance in finding appropriate medical care, contact family and help you transfer funds….although the investigation and prosecution of the crime are solely the responsibility of the local authorities…..

      ARUBA DOESN’T HAVE ANY RESPONSIBLE LOCAL AUTHORITIES……..

      They ran off our FBI, told Beth to leave, blocked Tim from bringing in equipment to search for Natalee…they did everything possible to derail the investigation….well it’s not Aruba’s dirty little secrets anymore….it’s Aruba’s full blown corruption and cover-up known to the world….

      whomever commented that joran maybe in aruba for fathers day
      may have a good point there…

      making us think he is in thailand to divert our attention

      doesnt the picture taking and rape sound like the same scenario minus a murder..

      WHEN JORAN HIS DAD AND THE KALPOES MEET THEIR PAY DAY

      IT WILL BE A GREAT DAY

      IT WILL BE TOTAL MONKEY MANIA

      BREAK OUT THE CASES OF BANANAS !!!

      I’d love to see Rudy catch Joran’s a~~ in Aruba…I guess it’s possible he could be there…even though Rudy says he’s not welcome I doubt if that means much to him….Joran wants to stir up more bad publicity for Aruba….

      And we don’t really know how old that picture is of Joran in Bangkok, it may not be recent at all…

      MissKatie, it also seems like the same scenario to me too….and to boot, SS posted that she was staying at the Holiday Inn…maybe for Joran this is #22….did he want to see if he could pull it off again…. but didn’t count on her pressing charges and going to the hospital….the other victims never did…..

    33. waterboy (Jerry) on June 15th, 2008 3:24 pm

      Carpe,

      Speaking of Anita—where do you think Joran learned the finer points of drugging and raping someone?

      Anita has probable been drugging and raping Paulus for years. Why else would she send him to his physician to have a permanent splint put on a certain part of his anatomy? She most likely also spikes his drinks with extra strength Viagra (King Kong Formula).

      Jerry

    34. MissKatie on June 15th, 2008 3:27 pm

      brie
      well my guesstimation is that what ever rudy croes said.. doesnt mean much.. considering all those officials are liars..
      if he catchs him in aruba hmmm
      my guess is thats just for our ears to be honest with you..
      YOU KNOW THAT RUDY IS TIGHT WITH PAUULUS..
      if they realy cared to make him non grata they would of made the whole family non grata… I dont believe anything they say and I hope that girl presses charges … I dont think aruba will take her serious.. aruba slaps the very hand that feeds them (TOURISM)

      I hope this story goes nationwide.. and that aruba doesnt manage to keep it hush hush..
      we realy dont know how many crime before and after natalee that went unreported.. or taken serious.. they dont value women much there… especialy!! american women….

      look at the picture!!!
      the proof is in the pudding!!

      DO YOU THINK HIS APRENTS ARE FINANCING HIS ADVENTURES??

      To Paulus,

      Happy Father’s Day, Paulus. Your honey Anita has a special treat in store for you. I don’t want to spoil it, but I think it is see-through and made of very little fabric (Yuck, Yuck, and Yuck!!!!! Nightmares are made of such).

      Oh sorry Paulus, I mean sounds like lots of fun, hurry home. Best wishes, happy dreams, ride tall in the saddle, happy hunting (you will be the huntee, rather than the hunter). Anita is hot on your trail old boy. There is no escape. You might as well take the drink she offers you. You won’t remember a thing (with a little luck).

      Jerry

    37. LilPuma on June 15th, 2008 3:40 pm

      I just read in the forum that ALE and the suspects claim the woman wanted to have sex with three guys after drinking at Moombas, she got mad that they took pictures and is only crying rape to get them into trouble. This from a member of ALE whose name has not yet been released by the Monkey who spoke to him. He also said that she got herself into this by getting drunk and leaving with the 3 guys she didn’t know.

      ARE YOU KIDDING ME, ARUBA? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? CHECK THE DELAINATION PLANT BECAUSE THERE’S SOMETHING IN THE WATER THERE!!!

      Just when I wasn’t getting angry and upset about this cesspool, they exhibit the same darn attitude: If you drink in Aruba, or even if you don’t, you are at fault if some damn Aruban commits a crime.

      I haven’t said this in a long time, but BOYCOTT THIS ISLAND, THIS SOCIETY AND EVERYONE IN IT. They’re heads are stuck in the arid, infertile dirt/sand/crushed coral or whatever the heck that island is made of.

      We have just learned in the Forum that two American women have been raped on Aruban beaches within the past ten days. Please take a few minutes to send at least two emails.

      Please send an email to ATAHA and remind them that as long as Americans are not safe on Aruba, we will continue our Boycott. ata.pr@aruba.com

      Please send an email to Senator Joseph Biden of Delaware. Sen. Biden is the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Ask for official US warnings for all Americans traveling to Aruba based on Natalee Holloway, drugs, theft from tourists, and rape. His email is from the website at – http://biden.senate.gov/contact/ . Follow the directions to Sen. Biden and then complete the email message form.

      http://www.lago-colony.com/MAPS/aruba_gold_mine_map_1885.htm

      This map, I don’t understand. Does it show the entrance to a gold mine at the location of the lighthouse? I’m missing something here. Please explain.

      The photo you showed of the tower, taken from the direction of the golf course, it almost looks like a small cave in the lower left side of the photo. I’ve lost the connection. My brother and I use to craw in every hole we could find. We found some amazing stuff. I would most certainly explore that cave.

      waterboy 44: If you do an overlay the gold mine on the map is close to where the Cell phone tower and building are located.
      If you look closly at the building you will see the ruins of a wall. That ruin has the same type of construction that shows at the other gold mine ruins; eg Balashi….

      Has Aruba yet released any information about the suspects?

    54. richard on June 16th, 2008 8:24 am

      As far as I can see, The Associated Press has not yet covered this story. Then again, it’s only an American citizen abroad … how can it be as important as, say, whatever is on TV tonight?

      Flashback: When Dave Holloway arrived on the Island on the evening of June 1, 2005 … the first two police stations he went to claimed they knew nothing about the disappearance of his daughter.

      When I arrived in Aruba with my family, we hit the island running. We rented a car and immediately headed out to find a police station. There were only four on the island and I was amazed to find that the first two we entered knew nothing about Natalee’s disappearance. We were then directed to a third one, the Noord Police Station.

      Has anyone found this woman? Is she willing to come forward publicly to expose this “safe island” once again?

      If this woman is reading this now, please contact any of us. There are thousands who are willing to stand behind you and help in any way we can.

      I am not surprised by the “she was drunk” defense made by the Aruban cops. What a PR nightmare they started…why on earth would the cops openly make that statement of assumption knowing the obvious outcome of outrage by Americans, the general international public and tourists?

      Police are supposed to INVESTIGATE and collect evidence to present to the prosecutor to make the final decision on whether or not a crime was committed! They are not to render personal opinions or become the trier of fact!

      Typical victim bashing once again.

      BOYCOTT ARUBA FOREVER–Stupid is as stupid does…

      Maybe we should tell them while they were frocklicing on the sand that week one of their fellow Americans was getting raped on the beach.

      michele says so

      Those idiots are totaly biased all the way around… who are they to make assumptions… in the united states we sue people of defamation of character.. in aruba the rules are made as they go.. they totaly control and theres no one to go to complain because they are all in someones pockets if you know what I mean~~~

    62. misskatie on June 16th, 2008 3:11 pm

      DID THESE GUYS GIVE HER A DAY RAPE DRUG HMMM REGARDLESS … MAYBE SHE ONLY HAD ALCOHOL ON HER BREATH AND NOT DRUNK.. ANYWAYS TOURISTS SAFETY IS THE LEAST OF THEIR CONCERN.. SHE HAD A RIGHT TO DRINK.. IF THEY DONT WANT TOURISTS DRINKING THAN SHUT DOWN THE BARS.. DONT USE IT AGAINST THEM DERNNN… SOME TOURIST GO THERE TO ENJOY THE BEACHS THE FOOD THE TROPICAL DRINKS AND YOUR GONNA SWEAT THEM IF THEY DRINK… COME ON IDIOTS OF ARUBA… GET A LIFE… WITH A BRAIN THESE IDIOTS COULD BE TOTALY DANGEROUS….

      INSTEAD THEY TREAT THE PERPETRATOR AS A VICTIM…

      THERES NO WONDER CRIME IS SO HIGH IN ARUBA.. THERES NO SENSIBLE LAW AND ORDER.. AND IM WILLING TO BET THERES NO EFFECTIVE 911

      A POLICE OFFICER FROM ANYWHERE IN THE UNITED STATES COULD BE THERE FASTER THAN THE POLICE IN ARUBA
      THATS PITIFUL….

      TOURIST HAVE NO PROTECTION…THEY ARE VULNERABLE TO ANYTHING THAT THE ISLAND INFLICTS ON THEM….

      THE WHOLE ISLAND IS NARCISISTIC!!!!!

      Do we have confirmation of this story from Jossy?

      I’ll repeat what Michelle Says So posted:

      She might be waiting to see what they’re going to do, waiting to see if the U.S. Consulate will do anything.

      The Federal Bureau of Investigation reports that there were 473.5 violent crimes PER 100,000 inhabitants in the US in 2006 (latest data they’ve released).
      http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/cius2006/data/table_01.html

      According the Federal Bureau of Investigation, National Crime Information Center (NCIC) there are 50,930 active missing adult cases in the United States as of January 31, 2007.

      Aruba is safer than most of our own hometowns.

      You all can go visit Alabama (where there were 300 murders and 1100 forcible rapes in ’06–that’s about 3 rapes PER DAY). BOYCOTT ALABAMA!!!

      Go ahead, monkeys, dispute FBI data.

      elle:
      Ok so what;
      Now where is Natalee Holloway;
      You remember the purpose of this site and discussion.
      By the way those US calculations come out to 1 per every 211.4 persons. Aruba was 1 per every 18.
      Natalee Holloway on Aruba 1 out of 100,000.
      USA Natalee Holloway 0 out of 330,000,000.
      So much for statistics.

    67. richard on June 16th, 2008 8:58 pm

      And has Aruba released any information YET about the suspects? Or are they going to make this US citizen disappear and deny that she ever was there?

    68. yoyo muffintop on June 16th, 2008 10:59 pm

      Where does it say this tourist is a US citzen?

    69. Carpe on June 16th, 2008 11:26 pm

      calls all over the island, and found

      Had Joran been convicted of date rape with the use of drugs and murder in Aruba, he would have been sentenced to death. He was lucky to have a judge for a father who possibly paid authorities to release him and to have authorites empathize/sympathize with him hence turn a blind eye to her brutal end. However, I believe the country he was caught in recently does not have the death penalty. I don’t know what their prison system is like but I hope he does life in deplorable conditions.

    84. Rachele on June 5th, 2010 7:54 am

      I used to want to travel to Aruba. Not after what happened to Natalie Halloway’s case. I think it is a shame that more countries did not have the penalty for rape as the Middle East…either stoning, public beheading…or my favorite chopping off the (garden variety nutcase) rapist’s penis off in public. Is it any suprise that they have a low rate of rape in the Middle East? They shame Aruba and the United States. I would feel safer traveling to the Middle East.
