Detectives have taken a 40-year-old Senegalese man into custody.

The suspect owns a fishing boat in the port near to where the woman and her friends were drinking late into the night.

It is claimed that he allegedly sexually assaulted the tourist after approaching her for a brief conversation.

The 21-year-old claims she was then “taken advantage” of due to her state of drunkenness.

Cops arrested him on his boat in the early hours of Monday morning as he prepared to head out to sea.

He had a closed court hearing soon after his arrest.

Local newspaper Ultima Hora has identified him only by his initials B.S.

He has since been released on bail pending an ongoing criminal probe.
