Airbnb host raped by her first guest who promised to leave a ‘good review’
Chandigarh, January 19
A woman in London had little idea that guests who she would rent her house to in London– through Airbnb– would ever harm her.
The woman rented out her house for the first time to a 43-year-old man and was allegedly raped by him after he offered her a massage, reported the New York Post.
Diego Dellarovere was her first guest. The incident dates back to May 2021 in Croydon.
A court was told that Dellarovere booked the room despite living just 12 miles away in Kensington, which the woman found “strange”.
She told police she had poured them both a glass of wine when he arrived.
“When I was sitting on the couch he was touching my legs and said put on spa music and I can give you a massage,” she told police, according to the Telegraph.
The woman alleged he then sexually assaulted and raped her. She said after that she locked herself into her bedroom.
The following morning, before leaving, he allegedly told her: “I’ll leave a good review,” reported the Telegraph.
The woman then filed a complaint.
The man, however, has denied raping the woman or sexually assaulting her.
