British woman sexually assaulted in Spanish nightclub toilet
Police in Seville are trying to track down the five “foreign” men reportedly responsible for the attack
The National Police in Seville are on the hunt for five men accused of sexually assaulting an unnamed British women in a nightclub bathroom in the central neighbourhood of Encarnacion.
Staff at the club called the police after the victim reported the attack and she was taken to the Virgin Macarena Hospital for an examination. Officers said that the woman was in a “state of shock” when she arrived at the hospital.
According to official reports, the Briton and her two friends began chatting with five men, who they described as “foreign”, in the unidentified nightclub and one of the group followed his victim into the disco’s toilets and assaulted her.
An investigation into the incident has been launched by the Sevillan courts and police are searching for the five men in question, although they have yet to offer any information on their nationalities.
The Encarnacion district has made a come-back in recent years and is now considered one of Seville’s trendiest neighbourhoods, thanks in large part to the Metropol Parasol located in its central square.
Known locally as the Mushrooms of Seville, the parasols, opened in 2011 in the city’s old quarter, house a traditional street market, countless restaurants and a popular rooftop terrace. The Metropol Parasol is now the third most visited urban landmark in all of Seville.
