A 52-year-old German man has been banned from Spain for the next 10 years after he was caught secretly filming up a girl's skirt, known as “upskirting”, on the holiday island Mallorca.

A judge in Palma had at first sentenced the man to two-and-a-half years in jail, regional newspapers reported on Wednesday. However, the sentence was later changed to a 10-year travel ban instead.
