In a recent incident in Llucmajor, Majorca, a young man faced arrest after allegations of sexual abuse involving a 12-year-old girl in a local store. According to the girl, the suspect lured her with a promise of money and attempted to coerce her into a sexual act. She managed to resist, escaped, and informed nearby staff. Local police intervened as the suspect exited the store, at which point he was detained and handed over to the Civil Guard for further investigation. The girl was taken to a police facility for assessment, and a restraining order was later issued as part of the legal process. The case centers on charges of sexual abuse and harassment.

Police records indicate the events unfolded around mid-afternoon on a Sunday inside a shop in the central area of Llucmajor. Officers on routine patrol observed the girl leaving the store distressed. The store management had attempted to assist the young customer when the incident began to escalate. The accused, aged 22, initially offered to help move a large item of furniture within the shop under the pretense of assisting, which raised the girl’s concerns. She reportedly agreed to seek permission from a relative, but the suspect encouraged her to proceed alone, insisting that the task was minor and harmless.

Once inside a back area near the counter, the door was reportedly closed, and the young girl found herself being approached by the accused who suggested a private space. He allegedly claimed to have something to show her and showed a pornographic image on his phone while asking if she understood the implications. The victim repeatedly refused, yet the accused allegedly offered money as an incentive to engage in sexual activity.

The girl later described feeling both “unsafe and pressured” after the interaction. She threatened to call the police if the door was not opened, which allowed her to escape from the room. She then encountered two local officers at the shop entrance, who began the process of documenting her account. The girl noted that she has gone about her routine shopping in the past without incident.

According to the officers, the suspect admitted offering money and tried to emphasize the intent to coerce. He reportedly showed two mobile devices from which he had deleted browser history, complicating the initial account. The young man was placed under arrest and transferred to the Civil Guard, who proceeded with the formal complaint lodged by the girl’s mother and launched a formal investigation. A court later issued an eviction order for the suspect as part of the ongoing legal proceedings, marking a significant step in the case.
