A 23-year-old German tourist has been arrested in Mallorca after allegedly sneaking into a woman’s hotel room and touching her while she slept.
Local police in Palma said the incident happened in the early hours of 11 August at a hotel on Playa de Palma. The woman awoke to find a stranger sitting on her bed stroking her leg. Her reaction woke her boyfriend, who was sleeping beside her, and he managed to push the intruder out before seeing him enter the neighbouring room.
Police officers found the suspect in that room. He claimed he did not know how he had got there and could not remember if he had touched the woman. Officers noted that only a small partition separated the terraces of the two rooms, which may have been how he entered.
He was arrested on suspicion of sexual assault and unlawful entry.
