A teenager has allegedly been raped in Majorca by two men described as "a famous actor and musician".
The 17-year-old British girl told police she had been attacked at a hotel on the holiday Island after she met the artists in a nearby restaurant and began socialising with them. The girl’s aunt is said to have alerted police after being contacted by her relative.
The teenager allegedly told officers the men had made her shower after the alleged rape to eliminate evidence that could incriminate them, a local newspaper reports. They were arrested at the unnamed hotel in the early hours of Saturday morning. They have since been released on bail but banned from leaving Spain pending an ongoing criminal probe after appearing before an investigating magistrate in a closed court hearing.

The teenager is believed to have left the island with her family after ratifying her police statement in front of the same judge. It is alleged the men and the girl were staying in separate hotels and got into conversation at a nearby restaurant before she agreed to go to the place where the pair were staying after spending time on the beach with them.
She was examined by doctors at Son Espases Hospital in the Majorcan capital Palma as part of standard protocol before making her police statement. Police confirmed they had been called to deal with an alleged rape at a hotel.
A well-placed source said: “Two men had been arrested in the earlier hours of Saturday morning and the investigation is ongoing.”
Court officials were not immediately available for comment. Neither of the two men arrested has yet been named.
It was not clear whether the pair were on holiday in Majorca or had travelled to the island for work reasons. As well as being banned from leaving Spain they have also been asked to surrender their passports.
It is not yet known if they were formally questioned by police before being taken to court.
