The legal consultant, of Leeds, waived her right to anonymity to speak of the brutal attack in a hotel in Cape Verde. Mamadu Siedi, 36, of Cape Verde ­island Sal, will now face trial accused of sexual assault with penetration. She said: “I am pleased that after nearly two years of fighting, authorities in Cape Verde have ­decided to prosecute. She also slammed the UK Foreign Office who sent her web links to Cape Verde lawyers after the alleged attack – but they only handled conveyancing. A Foreign Office spokesperson said: “We continue to offer advice and support to a British woman regarding ongoing legal proceedings in Cape Verde.”
