Last Friday in Palma, the Guardia Civil arrested a member of crew on a cruise ship, who worked as an entertainer, who is accused of raping a British tourist on board the liner.
Members of the Guardia Civil were waited in the port for the ship to dock after receiving a tip-off from the ship’s security team.
After refusing to testify on Sunday, the Court of Instruction number 2 released the suspect.
The events reported by the 30-year-old woman allegedly took place on board the cruise ship after she and the 26-year-old Kenyan-born man had been dancing all night.
At one point, the suspect allegedly forced her to have sex.
Some time later, the woman, in a state of shock, alerted the ship’s captain, who in turn informed the Guardia Civil.
As soon as they docked in Palma, where the passengers were going to stay for a few days, the Guardia Civil arrested the suspect.
On Sunday, the man used his right not to testify before a Palma magistrate, who ordered his release.
The Guardia Civil said that the investigation remains open.
