Tammi Forsythe Wiki
Tammi Forsythe Biography
Who is Tammi Forsythe?
A British woman whose own father is accused of raping her while on holiday in Crete has bravely waived his right to anonymity to prove that he is ‘100% innocent’.
Tammi Forsythe says the real rapist is still out there while her father languishes in a Greek prison accused of the disgusting sexual assault on her.
Tammi, 33, a mother of four, relives her ordeal of being dragged from an alley into a bush in the early hours of the morning and says she wants to be named so Greek police can catch the real rapist - revealing her fears that she may be pregnant by her attacker.
Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, Tammi fumed: “It’s not easy for me to come out publicly as a rape victim, but the world needs to know how my father and I suffered.”
‘He is 100% innocent, he did not rape me. The Greek police have treated us appallingly.
“As far as they’re concerned, this is just the case of a drunk British man on holiday being raped. If we were Greek citizens, we wouldn’t have been treated like this.’
Arrested
Forsythe was arrested on June 11, two days after Tammi reported being raped while out on a night out with him on the main avenue of the resort town of Malia, which is lined with bustling bars and nightclubs popular with Brits.
He is currently being held in a prison in the city of Tripoli on the Greek mainland and is awaiting the results of DNA tests.
Forsythe has denied committing the rape and has been told by Greek prosecutors that he will stand trial within 18 months or could be released depending on the outcome of the results. Under Greek law, he has only been informally charged with the crime.
Tammi revealed that she is still in Crete, where she has been talking to her father on the phone every day.
Tammi, who lives with his father in Hull, revealed that she is still in Crete, where she has been talking to him on the phone every day.
She yelled, ‘I can only talk to him for a few minutes. He is in a terrible mental state and does not understand why this has happened because he has not done anything wrong.
‘My father suffers from diabetes and other serious medical problems. He hasn’t eaten well for five days and is about to collapse. I’m really worried that all of this might kill him.
Tammi revealed that she fears she is pregnant after the attack. She is the mother of three sons aged 12, 10 and 5 and a daughter of 15 and is separated from her father.
Tammi said: ‘This holiday has turned into a horror movie. I really suffer from stress and anxiety, which has only gotten worse because I feel a little sick and I haven’t had my period. I’m usually very regular and it’s not like me.
‘I’m 60% sure I’m pregnant. The British Consulate has told me that I need to go to a medical clinic for a blood test, but I have been having such bad panic attacks that I need someone to come with me. But I am here alone and I have no one to help me.
Tammi was on holiday with her father to celebrate her birthday and it was their first time abroad together after the lifting of Covid travel restrictions. They were due to return to the UK on June 19.
Referring to the DNA evidence, Tammi said: “We were promised it would be a priority, but it hasn’t been proven to be the case.” I have not been given any information on when we will get the results. The Greek authorities just don’t seem to care. As far as they’re concerned they have their man and my father can rot in prison.
CCTV footage
Greek authorities insist they arrested Forsythe after CCTV footage from the help bar showed him engaging in “inappropriate sexual activity” with Tammi in the hours before the attack.
MailOnline obtained the CCTV footage and Tammi denies her father did anything wrong, replying: ‘He was drunk to the bone; He could barely move me. He was just trying to get me up to take me back to the hotel and put me to bed.
“I attacked him because he was very drunk and angry. At one point, I think I bit his hand. That’s all the CCTV footage shows: a father trying to help his very drunk daughter. There was nothing sexual between us. It’s a disgusting and ridiculous thing to say.
Recalling the night of the attack, Tammi revealed that she and her father arrived at the Help Bar on Malia’s main drag around 1:30am. m. on Thursday June 9 and left around 4:55 a.m. m. She spent most of the night drinking Sambuca shots while he drank pints.
Tammi admitted: ‘She was so drunk she could barely stand up. Somehow, I managed to stagger out of the bar, but we continued to argue. I was angry because he just wanted to be left alone so he could continue sleeping.
“I told them I was very drunk, but they were wrong when they saw the security camera footage. They completely misunderstood everything he was saying. I told them that my father was wearing all white, but they took that to mean the attacker was wearing all white.
“I was treated like a criminal, not a victim, and after suffering this horrendous crime, I am suffering even more now because of what they are doing to my father.”
