Autistic boy, 8, spat on by fellow Gran Canaria hotel guest who had sex with girlfriend in pool, gran claims

A boy with autism was spat on by a fellow hotel guest in Gran Canaria, his grandmother claims - before the man 'had sex with his girlfriend in the pool'. Mary Hughes said her grandson Aston Hawke, eight, was left traumatised following the incident last week and was too scared to leave their hotel room.

Mary, 63, claims she reported the incidents to managers at the Tabiaba Princess hotel. She says they told her the man and woman would be thrown out of the hotel, but she saw the same couple still there days later.

Mary, describing the moment she confronted the man, told the Manchester Evening News : "I said 'oi, you just spat in my grandson's face'. He just laughed. My grandson was crying and I was trying to calm him down.
