US Embassy in Bahamas issues sexual assault warning to women renting jet skis in Nassau

If you or someone you know is suffering from abuse, please contact the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-4673.

The attacks include two U.S. women who reported rapes over the last month. There were also a total of three rapes reported related to jet ski rentals last year.

The embassy said sexual assaults against women have also occurred in jet ski-related incidents.

Since August of last year, four Americans "were hospitalized with injuries from jet ski accidents," two of whom "needed emergency evacuations to the United States due to their injuries."

"Due to security risks, U.S. government employees working in The Bahamas are prohibited from renting and using jet skis on New Providence and Paradise islands," the Embassy stated.

The State Department has issued a Level 2 Travel Advisory for the Bahamas, as well as Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Netherlands Antilles and Turks and Caicos. 

The Level 2 Travel Advisory warns tourists to "be aware of heightened risks to safety and security."

The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism and Aviation did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
