The charge of “sexual assault” covers a wide range of offenses under Spanish law, from online assault to rape. The six Germans – all between 20 and 29 years old – were questioned on Friday, according to the police. They are scheduled to appear before a judge on Saturday.

According to information from the “Mallorca Zeitung”, the young German met one of the alleged perpetrators on Wednesday evening on Playa de Palma and voluntarily went to the hotel with him. The newspaper reported, citing the police, that there was initially consensual sex. Suddenly, however, friends of the man came into the room and allegedly raped the woman.
