PalmA 23-year-old German man has been arrested by local police after a tourist caught him sitting on the bed and caressing her leg while she slept in a hotel room in Playa de Palma.
The alleged sexual assault and violation of a home occurred in the early hours of Monday, August 11.
A patrol car went to the establishment after receiving a report that a man had entered a room that was not his own.
The victim told officers that when she woke up, she found a stranger sitting on her bed next to her, caressing her leg.
The woman's partner, who also woke up, took the man out of the room and saw the alleged perpetrator enter the adjacent room. She also reported what had happened to the hotel reception.
The suspect told officers he didn't know how he ended up in the tourist couple's room and didn't remember if he had been fondling the woman.
Officers verified that the balconies of the two rooms were connected, separated by a screen, and this was the most likely access route.
The 23-year-old man was arrested and, once the proceedings were concluded, brought before a court.
