The Guardia Civil have arrested four British tourists aged 19 and 20 in connection with the rape of a 19 year old British girl in the hotel room where they were staying in Magaluf.
The agents from Palmanova consider the four arrested took part in the rape and they all now face a charge of sexual aggression, although two of them are considered as the main perpetrators.
The four were taken on Tuesday morning to the courts in Vía Alemania to give their statements. They all said that they were very drunk and one of them said that consensual sex took place with the girl.
The girl also said that she had been drinking.
The judge in Instruction Court 7 in Palma, who was on duty, released them with charges outstanding at 2pm after listening to their accounts.
The girl had complained to the Guardia Civil on Monday that she had been raped in a hotel room in the early hours. She said that she went to the room of one of the men for consensual sex, but once there another man appeared and they both forced themselves on her. She has received health service assistance and has been examined in Palma Hospital.
The four arrested Britons are staying in the room where the alleged rape took place.
Diario de Mallorca reports that the victim and one of the four men had met on the beach at the weekend.
