Two Vietnamese celebrities were arrested on the Spanish island of Majorca last Saturday, accused of raping a 17-year-old British girl, local media reported.
The Majorca Daily Bulletin reported that the two men, an actor and a musician aged 37 and 42, appeared in court on Tuesday.
They were released pending charges, but their passports were withdrawn. The British girl gave a statement to the court, verifying what she had told Guardia Civil officers. She and her family left Majorca later on Tuesday.
The men and the girl were staying in separate hotels in the municipality of Andratx. They met at a restaurant last Friday night, where they struck up a conversation and had drinks together.
Later, the three went to the beach, where they became intimate.
They then went to the men’s hotel in the southwest of the island where the assault occurred. The girl told officers that after forcing her to have sex, the two men made her shower to eliminate any evidence that could incriminate them.
The girl told her aunt what happened, who alerted the police.
The Vietnam Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism Chief Inspector Pham Cao Thai on Friday said it was working on the allegation and would share accurate information later. — Vietnam News/ANN
