The trial for these events will soon take place in Palma. The young men have been led on remand in custody since the day after the events, when Calvia Guardia Civil arrested six of them. Shortly afterwards, it became known that two others had been given time to return to their country, but were also arrested.
The events, according to the Public Prosecutor’s Office in its brief of provisional conclusions, took place at 7.30 a.m. on 14 August last year. The eight accused, seven French and one Swiss, went to room 108 of a well-known hotel in Magalluf. Two of them were staying there and arrived with an 18-year-old British woman, who was semi-conscious due to alcohol consumption. Subsequently, two other men entered the room.
The defendants, for approximately half an hour, undressed her and acted together without “the consent” of the British tourist. The prosecution describes how several of them had oral, vaginal and anal sex with the girl. It also claims that they groped her and recorded the different actions they carried out. The videos were shared via the Snapchat application.
The Public Prosecutor’s Office accuses the eight young suspects, either as perpetrators or as cooperators, of five crimes of continuous sexual assault with carnal access and sexual assault without carnal access, a crime against privacy and another of abuse.
