DANGER: On Magaluf’s main party strip

AN Irish teen has allegedly been raped by two men in Mallorca. 

The 19-year-old was reportedly attacked after being forced out of a brothel in Magaluf at the weekend.

The young holidaymaker, believed the be from Ireland, told police he was assaulted after losing his friends on the Punta Ballena strip.

Local paper Ultima Hora reported he was attacked at around 5.30am on Sunday morning.

According to sources, he was taken into the brothel by two prostitutes but was ejected after he told them he had no cash.

Two men were reportedly waiting for him when he was kicked out by the back door.

The shaken tourist was examined at Son Espases Hospital in Palma where doctors confirmed injuries sustained from a sex attack.

He reportedly declined to press charges because he ‘felt ashamed’ at what happened.

A source told the Sun: “The hospital called police because of the nature of the man’s injuries and officers went to the hospital and spoke to the man but he told them he did not want to press charges.

“He also said he could not remember the name of the brothel he had been in.

“Although he has been described locally as British, police have his nationality as Irish.

“He was due to leave Mallorca today so while detectives have recorded the incident, it is difficult to see how the case can progress without a formal complaint or confirmation of where it allegedly took place.”

Guardia Civil said no formal complaint has yet been lodged.
