Brit is arrested on suspicion of raping female tourist in Magaluf

A British tourist has been arrested in the party resort of Magaluf after a UK holidaymaker reported him to police for raping her.

The woman alerted cops after meeting her alleged sex attacker during a drunken night out in the Majorcan resort town and blacking out in his hotel room.

Local paper Ultima Hora said she woke up hours later to find the man ‘on top of her’.

The unnamed detainee was held after detectives went to the hotel where the pair ended up with a description the woman had given them of the rape suspect.

He was held in police custody before appearing in court where a judge agreed to release him pending an ongoing inquiry.

Prosecutors did not demand that he be remanded in custody after he admitted to the judge he had sex with his female accuser but insisted it was consensual.

The arrest is understood to have taken place on Sunday, while the behind-closed-doors court appearance unfolded on Monday.

The hotel in question has not been named.

It comes less than two weeks after another British tourist was arrested on suspicion of sexually abusing his partner at a hotel in the resort of Santa Ponsa, just a 15 minute drive away from Magaluf.

The 50-year-old was held after the alleged victim called a receptionist for help, with local reports suggesting he hit her in the face and tried to smother her with a pillow.

Ultima Hora said the 48-year-old victim had described her partner as ‘very violent’ and told cops he had punched her in the nose. 

The suspect was arrested on Thursday July 7, but it is unclear whether his partner has decided to press charges.

Santa Ponsa is a 15-minute drive from Magaluf and forms part of the same municipality of Calvia.

Magaluf has long been renowned as a major party destination for people across Europe, particularly Brits. 

But its reputation has declined as authorities in Magaluf and all across Majorca have become increasingly fed up with the behaviour of British tourists visiting the island.

Physical violence and drunken, loutish behaviour are commonplace, and the party resort has also seen a host of sexual assault claims come to light in recent years.
