A BRIT tourist was raped by a fake tour guide after being lured to a secluded beach spot, she claims.
The unnamed woman says she was attacked near a hotel on Taghazout beach, in the Agadir Ida-Outanane area, before the man galloped off.

The fake guide rocked up on horseback and falsely introduced himself before engaging the woman in conversation, local media reports.
He then reportedly offered to take her to a scenic spot down the beach from the popular tourist village of Taghazout.
But once they reached an isolated spot, he is said to have turned on the lone woman and raped her – before fleeing on his horse.
The woman made her way back and told her travel partners and the hotel about her traumatising ordeal.
It was reported to local police and an active search was launched for the alleged rapist.
Authorities swept the area, interviewed people nearby and interrogated horse owners along the coast – leading to an arrest.
A police check on the suspect revealed he had a criminal record of similar cases, local media reported.
The man was hauled before the woman in court, where she immediately identified him as her alleged attacker.
He was then placed in police custody pending further investigation.
It comes after another Brit tourist was allegedly raped by a policeman while handcuffed in a cop car in France.
She claimed three cops picked her up on a street in Aubagne, a French town near Marseille before one assaulted her in the back of their vehicle.
The 37-year-old woman is understood to have filed a complaint on September 10 stating she was detained by cops for “obvious drunkenness”.
She claimed she was handcuffed and instructed to get inside the cop’s car before one sat next to her and kissed her.
After kissing her, the officer then allegedly “penetrated her”.

One officer has been charged with “rape and sexual assault by a person abusing the authority conferred on them by their position” and remains in police custody.
While another was charged with “willful failure to prevent a crime or offense against the integrity of a person” and was placed under judicial supervision.
A third cop has been placed under assisted witness status.
