Two individuals were taken into custody early this morning in connection with an alleged sexual assault involving a young woman near the Magma nightclub in Alicante. Authorities say the arrest followed a call for help from the victim, who reportedly described being restrained by the attackers. This allegation has prompted a formal investigation by local police and national police units working in tandem in Alicante.
The incident is said to have occurred near a small structure located behind the nightclub, with investigators alleging that the assailants exploited the victim’s intoxicated state to touch her inappropriately. At this stage, it remains unclear whether the woman managed to free herself or was allowed to leave after the assault was completed. The investigation continues to determine the sequence of events and the full extent of the alleged actions.
Following the early morning report, a coordinated police response was launched. A front-line officer who happened to be in the area provided immediate assistance, and the national police activated their sexual-assault protocol to protect the victim and gather relevant evidence. The combined effort aimed to secure the scene, identify witnesses, and preserve potential forensic material that could support the case.
The two suspects were transported to the Alicante Provincial Police Station, where the Violent Crime Unit of the Judicial Police Brigade has taken charge of the proceedings. The inquiry will assess the credibility of the victim’s statements, review surveillance or nearby footage if available, and interview individuals who were present in the vicinity at the time of the incident. The case is being handled with the seriousness it deserves, given the nature of the alleged crime and the impact on the victim.
This development emphasizes the importance of timely reporting and the swift coordination between local and national law enforcement agencies to protect victims of sexual violence and pursue accountability for offenders. It also highlights ongoing efforts to improve safety around nightlife districts and to ensure that victims feel supported when seeking help from authorities.
