Aug. 26 (UPI) — Three British individuals who are alleged to have been involved in the most recent case of gang rape of young tourists in Magaluf, Mallorca, have made their initial court appearances on Saturday.

The court proceedings were captured in photos that show the three British men covering their faces as they arrived at the court in Palma, Spain. They are facing charges related to the alleged gang rape of a British woman who claims to have been drugged at a hotel in Magaluf on Friday. (source: Majorca Daily Bulletin)

According to reports, the three men attempted to leave the country but were apprehended at Palma Son Sant Joan Airport just as they were about to board a flight to Manchester in Britain. A doctor who examined the alleged victim stated that she displayed signs consistent with sexual violence.

A spokesman for the Spanish Civil Guard notified the Manchester Evening News, stating, “This morning a central response unit received an alert about a possible sexual aggression from a hotel in the municipality.” Initial evidence suggests that the woman could have been drugged, as she reported feeling extremely unwell possibly due to the consumption of some type of drug. She was unable to identify the alleged attackers, but did provide one of their nicknames that she encountered on a social network.

Despite this, the police managed to identify the men. The spokesman added, “Officers identified the alleged aggressors who had just abandoned the hotel with the intention of taking a flight back to their home country.”

In a previous incident earlier this month, six individuals, including five French nationals and one Swiss national, were arrested on suspicion of gang raping another British woman at the same hotel where this recent attack occurred. Additionally, in July, six German men were arrested for the alleged rape of an 18-year-old German woman at a hotel in Mallorca. Authorities believe that the three Britons arrested on Friday will be held in the same facility as the Swiss and French nationals arrested in connection with the earlier attack.
