A woman was attacked as she slept by a suspect who was supposed to be deported, with the assault interrupted by an on-duty nurse. The attacker - nationality not released - fled, but was arrested one hour later thanks to the description given by both the nurse and victim. He used multiple identities and has two expulsion orders to leave France under two different names, French media say. 'It's a double trauma for my client - the rape itself and the circumstances, said the victim's lawyer. "She wants ... to understand how these extremely serious acts could have happened like that in a public institution." (DM)
