ARCHIVED - British tourist arrested for alleged rape of 16-year-old on Spanish Island of Mallorca
Both teenagers were holidaying at the Mallorca hotel where the alleged assault took place
A 16-year-old British boy has been arrested by the Guardia Civil in Manacor for the attempted rape of a British girl of the same age at a hotel in the Sa Coma area of Sant Llorenç in Mallorca.
According to local reports, the teenagers met at their hotel on Monday May 16 where the girl had checked in a few days earlier with her parents and sister. The pair spent the day together and she went to his hotel room with her sister, where she consented to kissing him.
At this point, sources claim that the alleged victim’s sister left the room and put on headphones to listen to music, and the accused attempted to take things further. When the girl refused, he became violent, pushed her onto the bed and tried to rape her.

The young man maintains his innocence and claims the encounter was entirely consensual.
