German national arrested for alleged rape of tourist in Mallorca
Spanish National Police have arrested a German man following the alleged rape of a female tourist in a nightclub in Playa de Palma, Mallorca. The incident occurred in the early hours of a Saturday morning in the establishment's restroom.
According to police reports and witness statements, the suspect followed the victim into the women's restroom after she had explicitly rejected his advances. The man reportedly bypassed security after a momentary distraction from the staff. During the assault, the victim sustained injuries to her knees while attempting to resist.
Authorities state that the suspect filmed the sexual assault on a mobile phone and distributed the footage to other individuals via a messaging application. The victim was able to escape the stall and alert security personnel, who detained the man until police arrived. The victim received medical attention at a hospital following the incident. The suspect faces potential prison sentences of up to twelve years in Spain.
