This profoundly unsettling moment captures a group of sex offenders deciding, ‘let’s go for it,’ upon finding a single British woman ‘thoroughly intoxicated’ on a beach in Magaluf.
Journalist Ellie Flynn was compelled to escape the crowd after the horrifying experience, which she discreetly filmed for the upcoming documentary ‘Magaluf Undercover: Predators and Parties’.
The project seeks to reveal the holiday destination’s ‘predatory underbelly’ and will be accessible for streaming on Channel 4 and YouTube starting tomorrow.
The distressing footage depicts two local males approaching Ellie, who is reclining on a sun lounger while ‘feigning inebriation’, before one of them attempts to engage her in conversation.
He is observed bending towards her, asking: ‘Hey, you alright? Sorry, are you alright?’
In response, Ellie – intentionally slurring her speech – states, ‘I’m fine,’ to which he follows up: ‘Do you want to chat a little bit?’
The already disconcerting encounter takes a dark turn as the stranger says: ‘You are my last chance. Do you want to kiss a little bit?’
After she declines with ‘no,’ he walks away, leading her to believe he is actually departing.
However, he proceeds to converse with another individual, and the hidden cameras capture him stating in Spanish: ‘She’s completely wasted.’ His companion replies: ‘Let’s go for it! Let’s go for it!’
The unexpected arrival of a third man, who sidles up to Ellie offering to ‘keep her company,’ compels her to cancel the sting because she feels ‘genuinely frightened.’
‘Even though I am sober and surrounded by crew members, I have no clear sense of how many of these men there might be,’ she explains.
She then signals for security to ‘get me out.’
‘Sorry, that genuinely startled me,’ she informs the handler. ‘I didn’t see him coming.’
Reflecting on the terrifying experience in The Sun, Ellie states: ‘I leave the beach feeling upset and frightened, perceiving that I have been subjected to a coordinated effort to target intoxicated women alone during a night out in Magaluf.
‘Alarmingly, this was not an isolated event, but a recurring theme that emerged throughout my three nights in this resort town.’
She recounted being targeted numerous times during her three days of filming there.
On one occasion, she documented a group of men observing her for ten minutes while she feigned drunkenness outside a fast-food establishment.
‘What could possibly compel this man, who has been observing me for several minutes and can see that I appear inebriated, to attempt to get me into a vehicle?’ she questioned.
‘He persistently inquired why I was alone, where my friends were, and offered to assist me – all the while complimenting that I was beautiful, while standing far too close for my comfort.’
Ellie’s documentary emerges against the backdrop of three alleged gang rapes in Magaluf and nearby areas last year.
Calvia, where Magaluf is located, holds the record for the highest reported rates of sexual assault per capita throughout all of Spain.
