Irishwoman arrested for sex assault in Magaluf hotel tells judge she ‘got horny'

'I put my hand on his genitals...I thought he was interested in me too, that we were flirting' THE married Irishwoman arrested for sexually assaulting a 20-year-old man at a Magaluf hotel told a judge she 'got horny' and groped his genitals because she thought he was interested in her. The 37-year-old was arrested at the hotel on the Spanish island of Mallorca where she was understood to be staying with her husband after she allegedly sexually assaulted the young Swedish tourist in a sauna on Tuesday. She appeared before a judge this week and said she was flirting with the other tourist. "I got horny. I thought he was interested in me too, that we were flirting,' she told the court. The Irishwoman being brought to court News in 90 Seconds - 7th June Local newspaper Diario de Mallorca reported that the Irish woman admitted she put her hands on the man's genitals and he rejected her advances. 'I apologised right away. I was very embarrassed, I'm sorry," she said before being released on bail by an investigating judge still probing the alleged crime. The woman explained that last Tuesday she went to the sauna of the hotel where she was staying and encountered the Swedish tourist. 'We started talking about personal matters. I told him I was going to the Turkish bath, and two minutes later the guy came too," She said they carried on talking and he asked her who she was and if she had a partner. 'I sat next to him, we talked a little more, and I got horny. I put my hand on his genitals. I thought he was interested in me too, that we were flirting.' She said the young tourist immediately told her: 'No, no, no.' She said she then removed her hands from his genitals and apologised. 'I was very embarrassed.' She told the court she wanted to apologise. "I regret it, and I apologise to the guy," she said. It is understood the victim has expressed intentions to continue with legal proceedings against the Irish woman. After the incident he alerted hotel staff who contacted local police and the Guardia Civil who arrived at the hotel to arrest the Irish woman. Reports say the woman initially denied doing anything when police arrived but later admitted her actions when she appeared in court.

Police released my abusive ex – hours later he burned down my house as I slept but that wasn't the biggest tragedy

WHEN Louise Simpson walks past the family home where she raised her son it isn't nostalgia that she feels but despair. It was the sight of one of the most harrowing events of her life and one that saw Louise lose not only dozens of sentimental memories but also her beloved pet dog. 8 Louise Simpson was devastated when she lost her beloved dog Peggy in the house fire caused by her ex Credit: Supplied 8 Adrian West was arrested hours earlier for smashing her doorbell camera with a rock but was released Credit: SWNS 8 West burnt down the home where Louise had lived for decades and raised her son Credit: SWNS Her violent ex, Adrian West, who was caught attacking her home on her West had subjected Louise to months of violent attacks including strangling, punching and kicking. She finally kicked him out of her house in Louise, 53, called the police and West spent a night in the cells before being released without charge the following day. Read More on Real Lives But later that day he returned to the property and started a fire in the porch which quickly engulfed the house. Louise - who was taking a nap at the time - was woken by neighbours and scrambled to escape as her bedroom was filled with thick black smoke. But her beloved West has now been jailed for six years after pleading guilty to arson and a string of assaults on Louise. Most read in Fabulous She is now campaigning for a change in the law to consider companion animals as sentient beings rather than property as they are currently seen. Reliving the arrest, Louise says: 'The police came out and arrested him. Danielle Secker bravely shares her story of horrific domestic abuse "I was sobbing, saying: 'Whatever happens, I just don't want him to be able to come near me again'. So he was kept in custody overnight. 'They called me about 10.45am the next morning and said that he was going to be released with no further action. 'I said: 'Well, what do I do? He's going to come back.' And they said they can't do anything unless he does something more. "They genuinely seemed to be more worried about how abusive he'd been to the arresting officers the day before.' Louise called police on September 13 last year when a drunk West tried to smash her door and Ring doorbell camera with a rock. She wouldn't open the door and called the police. He was arrested on suspicion of criminal damage and held overnight at a local police station. Louise was told they could not take further action because she had not signed the witness statement she had provided. She says: "At the time I didn't particularly want to get him in too much trouble, I thought he isn't getting any younger and all I wanted was for him to just leave me alone. 8 Horrifying before and after photos show the extent of the damage Credit: SWNS 8 Louise was offered new accomodation but she is determined to return to her old home Credit: SWNS 8 West has now been jailed for six years after pleading guilty to arson and a string of assaults on Louise Credit: SWNS "I asked the police that whatever happened could they please just warn him about coming back to my house again" Fearing that West would return to her house the following day, she blocked the front door with a toolbox and stockpiled food for a few days. She was 'shattered' and laid down for a nap. A heavy sleeper, she awoke at 3.16pm to her neighbours raising the alarm that her house was on fire. For about four or five days, I couldn't eat. I just laid on the sofa Louise Simpson Fire forensics later told Louise they believe he used white spirit as an accelerant. Three-year-old Peggy hid under the bed and was too heavy for Louise to drag her out. "If she decided she wasn't going to move, you could not move her," Louise says. "I was desperately trying, but I couldn't breathe, so I ran down the stairs.' Louise was able to pull the toolbox out of the way but once outside she ran back in in a second attempt to rescue Peggy. "I was trying to cover my mouth with my hands and putting my T-shirt over my mouth but because the smoke was so thick I couldn't breathe,' she says. 'My neighbours were all telling me to get out.' Firefighters rescued Peggy from the house but were unable to resuscitate her. Louise stayed with her son Connor, 28, after the fire. Domestic abuse - how to get help DOMESTIC abuse can affect anyone - including men - and does not always involve physical violence. Here are some signs that you could be in an abusive relationship: Emotional abuse - Including being belittled, blamed for the abuse - gaslighting - being isolated from family and friends, having no control over your finances, what you where and who you speak to Threats and intimidation - Some partners might threaten to kill or hurt you, destroy your belongings, stalk or harass you Physical abuse - This can range from slapping or hitting to being shoved over, choked or bitten. Sexual abuse - Being touched in a way you do not want to be touched, hurt during sex, pressured into sex or forced to have sex when you do not consent. If any of the above apply to you or a friend, you can call these numbers: on 0808 2000 247 for free at any time, day or night Men who are being abused can call Respect Men's Advice Line on 0808 8010 327 or on 0182 3334 244 Those who identify as LGBT+ can ring on 0800 999 5428 If you are in immediate danger or fear for your life, always ring 999 Remember, you are not alone. 1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men will experience domestic abuse over the course of their lifetime. Every 30 seconds the police receive a call for help relating to domestic abuse. She says: 'For about four or five days, I couldn't eat. I just laid on the sofa. I didn't wash, didn't brush my teeth. 'I was just crying non-stop, I couldn't take it all in.' She now stays between her Connor's house and a friend's in nearby Crawley. The council offered her alternative accommodation but she would prefer to move back into her house once it is repaired in about a year. She says: 'I've lived in that home for 28 years. I raised my son there. I've got good memories there as well.' Her possessions suffered fire, smoke or water damage. Peggy's life was given as much value as a bookcase Louise Simpson Louise lost personal photos, her mum's ashes, a hairbrush which had her mum's hair still in it, an elephant made for her by her daughter-in-law out of her mum's clothes and Connor's baby clothes she was saving for her grandchildren. West, of no fixed address, pleaded guilty at Lewes Crown Court to arson with intent, criminal damage, non-fatal strangulation, common assault and two counts of actual bodily harm on May 2. He was sentenced to six years and three months in jail. Louise is upset that Peggy's death was not considered in the sentencing. She wants offenders to be punished for killing companion animals like dogs and cats. She adds: 'Peggy's life was given as much value as a bookcase. 'She was my absolute world. 'What I used to go through with him, she was the one constant that was there by my side; my best friend.' A spokesman for Sussex Police said: "West was arrested on 13 September 2024 on suspicion of criminal damage and spent the night in custody. 'He was released without charge as the victim did not wish to sign a statement at the time." The Ministry of Justice says it has no plans to change the law.
