Guard who found Brit, 18, ‘gang-raped by 6 Magaluf tourists’ reveals horror as she was discovered sobbing in hotel lobby
A SECURITY guard came to the rescue of a Brit woman after she was allegedly gang raped by six tourists in Magaluf.
The hero hotel worker – who asked not to be named – told of the horror of finding the young woman, 18, sobbing on the floor in the lobby.
He discovered the victim at the self-proclaimed “party hotel” in the notorious Spanish resort during the early hours of Monday.
Six tourists, including five French nationals and one Swiss, are accused of the gang raping the Brit teen.
They also allegedly filmed the attack on their phones – and cops are holding them in prison as the investigation continues.
The security officer found the victim crying on the floor of the famous BH Mallorca Hotel – 400m from Magaluf‘s party strip – at around 5am on Monday.
“I came in for the morning shift and found her downstairs, she was so upset,” he told The Sun.
“It was awful,” he added, shaking his head.
He immediately alerted the cops who raced to the hotel.
“They dealt with it very well. The police came within five minutes and quickly helped her,” he explained.
She received immediate medical attention and counselling.
Police sources revealed that she had met the young French and Swiss tourists at a party and returned to their hotel with them.
But after going into one of their rooms she was allegedly sexually assaulted by the six holidaymakers.
She managed to escape and reportedly ran to the lobby to look for help.
The alleged victim gave officers a description of the suspects – all in their twenties – and they were quickly tracked down and arrested.
The accused were pictured being hauled into court in handcuffs in Majorcan capital of Palma on Tuesday.
The judge found there were video clips of the alleged rape on at least one of the suspects’ phones, police said.
They are all being held in jail, but have not been formally charged while the investigation is ongoing.
All six were denied bail.
A source from Spain’s Civil Guard told The Sun: “[The alleged victim] is doing as well as she can be when something like that happens.”
Another source confirmed the alleged victim had given a statement to a judge in a court hearing held behind closed doors.
They said: “All six men have been remanded in custody by a judge.
“They are currently in prison in Majorca and will remain there for the foreseeable future pending any successful attempts by a defence lawyer to secure their release on bail.
“The decision to remand them in custody would not have been taken lightly.
“It doesn’t prove the men did what the alleged victim is claiming they did but it indicates officials have good reason to believe a sexual assault has taken place.
“The woman who alleges she was gang-raped ratified what she told the police in a court statement.”
It comes after a British teen boy was allegedly sexually assaulted by a taxi driver in the back of a cab in Magaluf in the early hours of August 11.
The 17-year-old lad went to a police station with his mum and claimed the cabbie began touching him up on the way back to his hotel before demanding he perform a sex act on him.
According to local reports, the boy was physically assaulted as he tried to flee.
