Irish holidaymaker arrested for taking indecent photos of Brit teenager in Spain
The tourist was caught trying to photograph a 14-year-old girl’s underwear in Magaluf
A shocking incident in the party resort of Magaluf has led to the arrest of a 31-year-old Irish holidaymaker accused of taking an indecent ‘upskirt’ photograph of a 14-year-old British girl.
The alleged incident occurred on Tuesday October 15 at 8pm in a hotel corridor, where the Irish man was reportedly caught trying to take a photo of the teenager's underwear.
The girl's relatives, who were staying at the same hotel, quickly alerted staff, who then contacted the authorities.
After reviewing CCTV footage, police took the Irish man into custody. The footage "corroborated" the teenager's claims, according to local reports.
The accused appeared in court in Palma, the Mallorcan capital, on Wednesday after spending the night in police cells. A judge released him on bail pending an ongoing investigation, but imposed a restraining order, prohibiting him from approaching the victim or returning to his hotel room to collect his belongings.
The four-star aparthotel where the incident occurred is a short walk from the beach and is a popular destination for families and tourists.
