Brit tourist ‘raped & robbed’ after being lured to Palma beach by suspect ‘before 2nd attacker joined in on sex assault’

A BRITISH tourist has been assisted by police after claiming she was raped and robbed on a beach in Majorca.

The 30-year-old told detectives she agreed to go to the beach with a man she met and agreed to have sex with him before a second man appeared and allegedly forced himself on her.

They then fled with her belongings, according to the holidaymaker.

The incident police are probing happened on a beach near the Majorcan capital Palma in the early hours of Thursday morning.

It said they had decided to have consensual sex on the sand before things took an “unexpected turn” with the arrival of the second man.

The female holidaymaker, now said to be back in London, was taken to Son Espases Hospital in Palma for a routine medical exploration after alerting police and telling them she wanted to file a formal complaint.

It was not immediately clear this morning if she had ratified her complaint in court in front of a judge before she returned home.

Local reports said she had been in “visibly affected” and in a “state of shock.”

Police in the Balearic Islands admitted earlier this year thieves targeting holidaymakers who had gone to the beach have a late-night dip or other things were one of the biggest problems for them in peak season.

Little is known about the men said to have been involved in Thursday’s incident, including their ages or nationality.

Parts of Playa de Palma, which includes the brash party area of S’Arenal on its east end which is popular with partying Germans, have been under the microscope this summer over tourist misbehaviour and criminals especially pickpockets who target holidaymakers.

Francisco Javier Santos, head of the National Police for the area, insisted in a local paper interview published today it was a safe place to go on holiday, saying: “The level of criminality is relatively limited.”
