A woman in London has alleged that she was raped by the first guest at her home after she rented it out through Airbnb.
The woman has alleged that the 43-year-old man raped her after offering to massage her, reported the New York Post.
The incident allegedly took place in Croydon in May 2021.
She told the police that she had never rented out a room in her home before and that Diego Dellarovere was her first guest.
A court was told that Dellarovere booked the room despite living just 12 miles away in Kensington, which the woman found "strange."
She told the police that she poured them both a glass of wine when he arrived.
"Then 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 the police, according to The Telegraph.
Dellarovere then allegedly sexually assaulted her.
Afterwards, she went into her own bedroom and barricaded herself in her room with her kitchen knife, her dog and cat.
She said he returned at about 2 am and went to sleep in the spare room. The following morning, before leaving, he allegedly told her: "I'll leave a good review," reported the Telegraph.
The woman told the police that she initially thought about just reporting the matter to Airbnb but then decided to file a complaint, reports The Telegraph. "Then my thought was that he is likely going to do that to someone again so I want his name to be flagged," she said.
The man has denied raping the woman or sexually assaulting her.
