• Balearic Islands Six young Germans arrested for the gang rape of a girl in a hotel in Palma

The instructor of the Court of Instruction Number 8 of Palma, Antoni Rotger, acting as a guard, has decided tonight to send to prison provisionally 5 of the 6 Germans between 21 and 23 years accused of the alleged gang rape of an 18-year-old compatriot in a hotel in Playa de Palma.

The tourists have appeared this Saturday, from early in the morning until late at night, before the judicial authority in the courts of Via Germany after they were arrested on Thursday. Only one of them has been released by decision of the judge.

The six have arrived at 10:00 am in two police vans, from where they have left with their faces covered before the great expectation on the part of Spanish and German media that hoped to capture the image of this moment.

According to sources of the investigation, the girl was on vacation with some friends in this usual destination of the Germans in Mallorca. On Wednesday night he met one of the six boys, with whom he was chatting quietly on the beach, where they had consensual sex.

They then went to the hotel where the five friends were staying and went back to having consensual sex alone in a room. Later the other boys arrived.

In a note issued on Saturday, the National Police reports that four of them forced the girl to have sex, part of which was recorded on a mobile phone by one of those now detained.

The girl locked herself in the bathroom, a young man recognized that they had gone over with her, reassured her and convinced her to accompany her to the hotel where her friends were. Once there, he asked for help from the National Police, who sent several patrols.

The agents gathered information, arrested all those involved and requested an ambulance that transferred the girl to the Son Espases University Hospital, where the protocol for victims of sexual assault was activated.

The Family and Women's Care Unit (UFAM) took charge of the investigation and to find out the role played by each accused in this sexual assault.
