German Tourist Wanted Internationally Over 2017 Rape Allegation on Mallorca

A 27-year-old German man is accused of sexually assaulting and striking a British woman in Magaluf and has missed multiple court dates, prompting an international warrant.

• The alleged assault occurred in 2017 when the accused, then 19 years old, was vacationing in Magaluf, a popular party destination on Mallorca.
• The man is accused of forcibly pulling a British woman towards him, sexually assaulting her, and striking her when she resisted.
• Spanish authorities initially detained the suspect following the victim's report but later released him; he has since failed to appear at multiple court hearings.
• The Palma court has issued an international arrest warrant, with the prosecution seeking an eight-year prison sentence and €6,000 in damages for the victim.
• The warrant allows for cross-border cooperation to apprehend the suspect, as it applies to serious offenses with potential sentences exceeding one year.
