Palma bus sex assault case: jail term sought

A man faces a Palma court on Tuesday accused of sexually assaulting two women, one of them a minor, on an Empresa Municipal de Transportes (EMT) Palma bus. Prosecutors are seeking one year and six months in prison and €1,000 in compensation. They say the alleged assaults took place on the night of 17 May 2025.

According to the prosecution, the man approached a woman he did not know from behind and touched her bottom without her consent. He then allegedly went to a girl who was sitting on the bus and repeatedly rubbed his genitals against her upper thigh.

The First Section of the Balearic Islands Provincial Court will hold the preliminary hearing at 09.30 on Tuesday. The defendant is barred from using EMT Palma buses.
