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.

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.
