In 2026, the Offender Database recorded that eight men, primarily French nationals, were sentenced to a combined 73 years in prison for the gang rape of an 18-year-old British woman in Magaluf, Majorca. The convictions follow a brutal assault on August 14, 2023, at the BH Mallorca Resort hotel. It was reported that the group lured the “semi-conscious” victim to Room 108, where they subjected her to a half-hour ordeal of physical violence and degradation while filming the acts on mobile phones.
The investigation established that two of the men plied the victim with alcohol before inviting a group of strangers from a hotel corridor to participate in “free sex.” The Civil Guard reported that the men acted in concert, sharing videos of the assault on Snapchat with the intent of humiliating the victim. The prosecution reported that one defendant’s phone contained 14 separate videos of the rape, which investigators described as showing the men laughing and egging each other on during the three-minute recording.
Judicial Findings and Investigative Detail
The court reported that the group displayed a total disregard for the victim’s life and dignity, referring to her as a “cow” in their social media exchanges. The Court in Palma heard how the victim managed to flee the room and alert hotel staff, later identifying several attackers after police duped them into revealing themselves by calling the victim’s stolen phone. The investigation established that the men’s clear intention was to violate the victim’s privacy and use the “secluded” nature of the hotel room to facilitate the gang assault.
The Sentencing Judge noted that while the group initially faced 151 years, the sentence was reduced to 73 years following their guilty pleas. For their actions in Magaluf, the men—including Anthony G, Anthony A, Khalil A, Thomas E, Romain C, and Lucas H—were handed various custodial terms based on their level of participation. The judge noted that the use of mobile phones to record and share the crime was an aggravating factor that highlighted the predatory and “vile” nature of the group.
Status and Statutory Requirements
For the crimes reported in Spain, the status of the Magaluf Hotel Attackers is as follows:
- Custodial Sentence: Combined total of 73 years in prison (2026).
- Convictions: Gang rape (agravante de actuación en grupo), violation of the right to privacy, and theft.
- Judicial Oversight: Sentenced by the Audiencia Provincial de Palma following a Civil Guard investigation.
- Legal Standing: All eight men pleaded guilty to the charges.
- Origin: Seven French nationals and one Swiss national.
Monitoring and Public Protection
The men are currently incarcerated in Mallorca and are managed under the strict oversight of the Spanish prison system. Due to the international nature of the case and the severity of the gang assault in Calvià, their management is subject to scrutiny regarding their eventual release and deportation. Authorities state that their guilty pleas and the forensic digital evidence ensure that they are permanently flagged as high-risk sexual predators within the European Union’s criminal databases.
As convicted gang rapists, the men will likely face immediate deportation to France and Switzerland upon the completion of their sentences, where they will be subject to lifelong monitoring. Authorities state that their history of “vile” and predatory behavior in Spain necessitates permanent vigilance. Any attempt to return to the Balearic Islands or engage in further inappropriate behavior in the EU will result in immediate detention and a return to the judicial system for further incarceration.
