Individual taken into custody in Palma, Spain for alleged instances of sexual intimidation or molestation.
In the early hours of Monday, a 23-year-old German tourist found himself in hot water after an unusual incident at a hotel in Playa de Palma, Mallorca.
The woman sharing the hotel room woke up in shock when she noticed a stranger next to her on the bed, caressing her leg. Her partner quickly intervened, removing the intruder from the room.
The man was found in a neighboring room and was arrested on charges of sexual assault and trespassing. However, he reportedly claimed that he did not remember how he ended up in the room or whether he had touched the woman.
The police spokesman described the case as strange, but ruled out the possibility that the man was drunk or under the influence of other drugs.
The incident was confirmed by the "Diario de Mallorca" newspaper and the police spokesman. It is believed that the man entered the woman's room via the shared balcony, which was connected by a screen.
It's important to note that this case is different from another incident involving multiple German tourists who were arrested for an alleged gang rape in a hotel room in the same area. That case involves multiple suspects and carries different charges and legal implications.
The arrested tourist will be brought before an investigating judge. If found guilty of sexual assault, he could face a prison sentence. However, the prison sentence, if imposed, is likely to be suspended.
