A tattoo artist in Ibiza has been arrested and remanded in custody for allegedly sexually assaulting a British woman while she was on holiday. The 47-year-old suspect, whose identity has not been disclosed, is accused of molesting the victim during a tattoo session at his parlour in San Josep de Sa Talaia.
The British woman reported the incident to police in Scotland, where she resides, who then passed the information to Spanish authorities. The Civil Guard's Unit of Investigation of Sex Crimes in Ibiza conducted the arrest, revealing that the suspect had previous convictions for similar offences.
The alleged assault occurred when the victim hired the tattoo artist's services. He is accused of touching her without consent while working on her tattoo. The case was heard in a closed court, and the judge ordered the suspect to be remanded in prison.
Police released images of the suspect being taken into custody but did not disclose his nationality. The Civil Guard statement confirmed the arrest and the nature of the charges, emphasising the cooperation between Scottish and Spanish police.
