Mallorca: 20-year-olds presumably raped-new details

Palma/Mallorca. A judge in Mallorca has postponed the hearing of six holidaymakers from Germany - who are accused of group rape - to the late afternoon. This was confirmed by a police spokesman for the German Press Agency (dpa)-a reason was not mentioned.

The six young men had already been brought to the court in Palma de Mallorca in the morning. A photo shows the suspects that their shirts over their heads so as not to be recognized. The judge must decide whether the holidaymakers have to be in custody or possibly be released against depositing a deposit. Rape can be punished in Spain with up to twelve years in prison.

The police at least accuse some of the men the rape of a German tourist (20) in a hotel room on Ballermann. The Spanish newspaper "última Hora" reported on Friday (July 14th), citing investigators that the police found a video of rape on a mobile phone's suspect. Where the vacationers come from in Germany was not communicated.

One of the arrested Germans met the 20-year-old in the party stronghold on Ballermann on Thursday night. Both had later had mutually agreed sex in the man's hotel room. Later, the five friends of the German are said to have been added, some of whom are said to have raped the woman that the others had watched idly, said a police spokesman. The woman was finally able to flee from the room and alerted the police with the help of the receptionist. (Lro/JSN/dpa)
