Four young people, two of them minors, have been arrested for

allegedly abusing

a minor girl who resides in a center for minors in Mallorca, and who was on the

run

the night the event occurred. in the middle of this week.

The events, which are still being investigated, took place in the tourist town of

Magaluf

, an area known for being one of the places where drunken tourism is concentrated in the Balearic Islands, in the municipality of Calviá.

According to the information released so far, at least one of the defendants knew the girl and, together with another friend, both Senegalese, they went in a group to the area, where they were

having drinks

in some bars.

Later, they went to a

rented apartment

in the same neighborhood, where the other two defendants were.

The next morning, the 17-year-old girl called her guardians to report that she had been the victim of sexual abuse by the four men inside the apartment, having been a victim of

intimidation by the group

and being under the effects of narcotic substances.

The four defendants, who

denied the facts

, were detained by the Civil Guard.

The Mallorcan Institute of Social Affairs (IMAS), the public entity on which the guardianship of minors in Mallorca depends,

has highlighted this Friday "the value of institutional coordination"

in the police system.

Precedents

It is one more episode in a

trickle of cases

that for two years has shaken the public institutions of Mallorca that take care of minors who have been separated from their biological families.

The rape of one of these underage girls in December

2019

uncovered the scandal of the sexual exploitation and abuse of minors under guardianship, which has been revealed in a veiled way, eventually admitted by the authorities in a staggered manner.

At

least 16 cases of minors

who were abused outside reception centers and flats by adults outside the protection system

have been publicly admitted

.

Sometimes in exchange for gifts, money, or drugs.

This matter led to a police raid two months ago, with the

arrest of 14 people

who allegedly abused girls in exchange for money after contacting them through adult dating sites.

Among those arrested were girls who acted as intermediaries.

Likewise, the

Prosecutor's Office

opened an investigation,

archived

after concluding that there were no exploitation networks infiltrated in the protection system and that the cases, being serious, were isolated and not organized, so (with the exception of the recently dismantled network) investigate each complaint separately.
