A married Irish woman has been arrested on suspicion of sexually assaulting a man at the spa of a Magaluf hotel where she is understood to have been staying with her husband.
The 37-year-old was hauled to court after being accused of touching her alleged victim’s genitals without his consent.
She was taken into the court building in the Majorcan capital Palma by an armed police officer.
Cops are expected to reveal more detail about yesterday’s arrest in the coming hours.
The Irish tourist, who was released on bail by an investigating judge still probing the alleged crime, has not been named.
The alleged sex assault happened around 6pm on Tuesday. The hotel has not been identified.
Well-placed sources said the Swedish man was already in the hotel sauna when the female holidaymaker came in and sat near him and struck up a conversation with him after asking him how long he had been in Magaluf.
She left the sauna and took a dip in a swimming pool beside it before following the man into a Turkish steam bath where the alleged sex assault took place according to a police report sent to the investigating court.

The male holidaymaker is understood to have alerted hotel staff who called the police after telling the Irish woman to stop as she ‘sexually molested’ him without warning.
Although she denied any inappropriate behaviour when cops reached the hotel and quizzed her on the spot, she told the judge she regretted her actions and wrongly thought the man was interested in her in court hours later.
Her alleged court confession has not yet been confirmed by police or court officials.
Last summer, several instances of sexual assault were reported at the tourist hotspot.
One female British tourist was allegedly raped by a man twice her age who intercepted her as she returned to her holiday apartment from a boozy night out with friends in Magaluf.
Another British woman was raped an robbed on a beach after she became separated from friends in the resort’s Punta Ballena party strip.
The suspect was said to have picked her up and carried her to the beach where he allegedly raped her before stealing her mobile phone.
The Majorcan region of Calvia, where Magaluf is situated in, has the highest number of reported sexual assaults per inhabitant in the whole of Spain.
The party resort on the Spanish island of Majorca is famed for its drink-fueled culture, which is often perpetrated by foreign tourists – in particular British and German.
