The Civil Guard in Calvia arrested six French tourists who were accused of raping the 18-year-old British girl in a hotel in Magalluf.
The young men recorded the group sexual assault with their mobile phones, according to sources from the investigation.
The events took place at around five o’clock last Monday morning, according to Guardia Civil sources.
The girl met the group of young French tourists at a party and then accompanied them to their hotel.
Once there, they went up to one of the now arrested men’s rooms and allegedly raped her.
The victim managed to free herself from the alleged assailants and screamed for help in the street.
The security staff of the hotel complex saw the young woman crying in desperation and immediately alerted the Guardia Civil.
The officers made a series of enquiries until they were able to identify the suspects from the description given by the victim.
Agents from the Reserve and Security Group (GRS) together with the Guardia Civil’s Judicial Police team in charge of sexual assaults managed to arrest the six individuals.
The Guardia Civil reviewed the recordings of the security cameras at the entrance of the hotel and carried out a visual inspection of the room where the events took place.

Charles Dalrymple-ChumleyAgain, you, like the press, have been caught jumping to conclusions based on erroneous reporting by people who need to fill up space in a newspaper. Have you ever actually been down to Magaluf, let alone in the off season ( 9 months), but in the height of summer as well, to make your OWN mind up and not those who have NEVER actually been there ?. I doubt very much that the perpetrators will be named and shamed as they belong to an indegenous group who can, literally, get away with murder.
Regarding my comment below, I should have said that I hope the six men are named and shamed in the French press not the British press. Although if they could be named and shamed worldwide that would be all to the good to deter others from such a despicable crime.
This incident is receiving a lot of press coverage back in the UK. I'm ashamed at the moment to be in any way associated with Mallorca. There are a lot of British people, and other nationalities, that have a dim view of the island, its tourists and its infamous drunken louts culture. This incident simply throws fuel on their fire and ignites their contempt. At the heart of such a crime of rape is excessive alcohol and no respect for the law. Both attitudes need urgent addressing. Any sentence by the courts less than a jail period and the naming of the six back in the UK where their employers, family and friends will identify them will be a travesty.
SusieQRefugees welcome idiot ?
I am not blaming the girl, as she didn’t deserve to be raped, but why would you go up to a hotel room with six men?
Charles Dalrymple-ChumleyAre you blaming Magaluf or the “frenchmen”.? It’s either one or the other.
....."in Magalluf." Again.
