Spanish police said on Wednesday that they had arrested five French tourists and a Swiss holidaymaker on suspicion of sexually assaulting the 18-year-old. The assault is alleged to have happened at dawn on Monday at a hotel in the town found on the on the holiday island of Mallorca - renowned for its rowdy parties and cheap alcohol as much as its white-sand beaches. The alleged victim received immediate medical attention and counselling. A medic checked the woman over and is said to have found grip marks on her arms. Yesterday it was reported that police said there were video clips of the alleged rape on at least one of the suspects' phones. A young British woman who was allegedly raped by six men in Magaluf was found to have grip marks on her arms after the incident, according to reports.

Pictured: Two of the men are seen being led into court on Wednesday, making little effort to hide their faces Two of the suspects are seen being led into court by a Spanish officer One of the suspects is seen being led by two officers into court on Wednesday The woman met the suspected rapists on Monday night and later went to the hotel room of one of the suspects, where she was allegedly sexually assaulted by the six, the police press office in Mallorca said, citing the alleged victim's statement. The Civil Guard showed up at the accommodation after receiving a phone call from the hotel's security staff who found the young woman crying in desperation. Police detained the suspects, all of whom are over 20, shortly after. Later, all the suspects were seen being escorted into the court building in Palma in handcuffs. Meanwhile, detectives inspected the room where the alleged assault occurred and reviewed CCTV footage of the hotel entrance as part of the ongoing investigation. In the first pictures of the six men, one of the suspects held his head down and stared at the ground as he was led into a court in handcuffs by a Civil Guard officer. But the other five, all wearing the same shorts and t-shirt they were arrested in, made no attempt to disguise their faces as they were taken into court for a remand hearing held behind closed doors. A judge has ordered the six men to be held in custody while the investigation into the sexual assault continues, a spokesman for Spain's Guardia Civil police force said without giving further details. None of them has been formally charged as yet, as the investigation is ongoing. There were no details released on their identities nor that of the alleged victim. Under Spanish law, sexual assault takes in a wide array of crimes from online abuse and groping to rape, each with different penalties. The woman met the suspected rapists on Monday night and later went to the hotel room of one of the suspects in Magaluf (pictured, file photo), where she was allegedly sexually assaulted by the six, the police press office in Mallorca cited the alleged victim's statement as saying Earlier this month, a 21-year-old British woman told Greek police that she was raped by an Israeli man after meeting him in a nightclub in Athens. The young tourist was allegedly attacked at the man's home in the early hours the previous week after a night out in the Keramikos area. She told police that during the sexual assault, the man's three friends appeared out of nowhere and filmed her with their mobile phones. The woman, who had been partying with her friend from Portugal beforehand, told the group she was leaving but the man refused to stop the act, according to local media . After a struggle the woman managed to escape the property and told police of the incident. A case has been filed against the Israeli man for rape. Just last month another British tourist accused a 47-year-old Greek man of raping her in a hotel while on holiday on the island of Rhodes , according to local media. The 21-year-old said she was attacked at around 2am on July 3 in Pefkos and made a complaint to the local police hours later, prompting a case to be opened. According to Greece 's ANT1News, the young woman's lawsuit claims the older man took her from a 'health care store' in Lindos, found on the south of the island, to a hotel in Pefkos - the main city on the island that sits around 15 miles from Turkey. There, the outlet reports, the woman claims the man forced her to have sex with him through threats of physical violence. Upon making her complaint, the police asked a medical examiner to carry out an assessment, ANT1News said. She handed over the clothes she was wearing on the night which were reportedly sent to Greece's Directorate of Criminal Investigations for DNA testing. According to the same publication, a second British woman made a complaint over an incident in Faliraki - seven miles south of Pefkos - 24 hours earlier. It reports that the 18-year-old British tourist was attacked in the early hours on Sunday, July 2, at a nightclub in the popular destination. In yet another grim case, a 21-year-old British tourist was allegedly raped after she was dragged into bushes on a popular Algarve holiday beach last month. The woman told police the sex attack took place on the sand by a walkway at Praia da Rocha beach in the municipality of Portimao. And last month, two Irishmen were arrested on suspicion of raping a British tourist in a hotel in Magaluf - the same resort town as Monday's alleged incident. The Briton, who has not been named, told police she had been sexually assaulted by the two men in a hotel room in Calvia by Magaluf in the early hours of July 19.
