British boy, 17, raped in Mallorca restaurant toilet
A Swiss holidaymaker was arrested for the attack in Magaluf but has since been released on bail
In yet another horror story emerging from the Mallorca party resort of Magaluf, a 17-year-old British tourist has reportedly been raped in a restaurant bathroom.
The young victim told police that the attack occurred on Sunday August 4 when he and his friends went to a dinner show at an unnamed eatery. A Swiss tourist was seated at their table and despite not knowing each other, the men got chatting and enjoyed several drinks together throughout the night.
But things took a sinister turn when the Brit went to the bathroom and was followed inside by the other holidaymaker, who allegedly raped him. He immediately told staff at the restaurant what had happened and provided an accurate description of his attacker. The police were called and the security guards held the alleged perpetrator until the officers arrived and arrested him.
Detectives escorted the British victim to the hospital for a routine examination before he gave a statement. His Swiss attacker was brought in front of a judge later that day but was released on bail. It’s unclear whether he has been asked to remain in Magaluf while the investigation continues or has been allowed to return home.
This comes just days after a female British tourist reported being sexually assaulted by two men on a beach in Mallorca. The 30-year-old told detectives that she had gone willingly to the beach with one man and consented to have sex with him, but a second stranger unexpectedly showed up and they both raped her.
According to local reports, the tourist had accepted “free drugs” from the first man before heading to the Palma beach with him.
After the sexual assault, the holidaymaker claims the pair stole her belongings and fled.
