Mallorca rape trial: prosecutors seek 10 years in jail

In Palma, Mallorca, a man accused of raping and slapping his sister’s friend goes on trial on Monday, 9 November 2026. Prosecutors are seeking ten years in prison and €20,000 in compensation for the woman. The hearing is due to begin at 10.00 before the First Section of the Balearic Islands Provincial Court.

According to the prosecution, the man and the woman met at several venues in Palma in the early hours of 16 September 2022. She had gone out with his sister. The two later went to a flat, where prosecutors allege he took advantage of the fact that she was affected by alcohol. They say he threw her onto a bed, undressed her, slapped her, held her firmly by the arms and raped her.

Prosecutors say the alleged assault has affected the woman’s wellbeing, emotional stability and ability to carry out everyday activities.
