Banayado shared that she was in shock when she found the man is already in front of her. He then offered her an iPhone 7 in exchange for sexual intercourse, but Banayado said she immediately refused to accept the offer.
Because of this, the suspect became angry and beat her and attempted to rape her. She was able to escape, ran to her room and lock it up. She said, he tried to reach out the Philippine embassy in Riyadh, but no one came for her.
