Six men allegedly involved have been arrested – and its now been revealed another two men may have taken part in the attack, according to Última Hora.
The Spanish publication reported the victim identified eight attackers in the alleged gang rape.
The horrifying assault has shocked the popular resort town which is known for attracting young Brits.
And it has also been reported the alleged attackers were “laughing” during the attack which was documented on their phones.
The judge who remanded the six arrested men in custody has also blasted claims the alleged assault was consensual as “preposterous”.
The victim reportedly also suffered “several bruises on her arm” and a small cut on her chest.
Details of the remand ruling emerged overnight said that in mobile phone footage of the alleged sex attack, the men could be heard “enjoying themselves and laughing”.
Ultima Hora, which appeared to have been given access to at least part of the court document, reported no female voice could be heard in any of the videos, “not even a murmur or sigh or anything similar.”
Police confirmed to The Sun yesterday they were searching for two other tourists who are believed to have witnessed the attack and not intervened.
It remains unclear if those are the same as the two additional men who are belived to have possibly taken part.
“The investigation is ongoing. We have been talking to our people from Guardia Civil in Mallorca,” cops told The Sun Online.
“We are searching for two more individuals that could have allegedly been involved in witnessing the rape and recording videos of the attack doing nothing to stop it.”
The judge who sent the six men into custody has blasted claims that the sex was “consensual”.
She also ruled there were indications the 18-year-old holidaymaker had suffered “really humiliating and degrading treatment” in her decision to refuse the suspects bail and send them to prison in Majorca.
Suspects Anthony G., Anthony A., and Khalil A., Lucas H., Thomas E. and Romain C., were arrested following the attack and all six were booked into prison.
They also allegedly filmed the attack on their phones – with more than 20 videos found on one mobile phone – as cops hold the alleged perpetrators in prison as the investigation continues.
The security guard who found the distraught victim told The Sun: “I came in for the morning shift and found her downstairs, she was so upset.
“It was awful. The cops dealt with it very well. The police came within five minutes and quickly helped her.”
Police sources revealed that she had met the young French and Swiss tourists at a party and returned to their hotel with them.
But after going into one of their rooms she was allegedly sexually assaulted by the six holidaymakers.
She managed to escape and reportedly ran to the lobby to look for help.
The alleged victim gave officers a description of the suspects – all in their twenties – and they were quickly tracked down and arrested.
The accused were pictured being hauled into court in handcuffs in Majorcan capital of Palma on Tuesday.
The judge found there were video clips of the alleged rape on at least one of the suspects’ phones, police said.
The Civil Guard Judicial Police Team reportedly collected a large number of samples in the room where the alleged rape took place.
A spokesman said in a statement released on Thursday: “The BH Mallorca Resort deeply regrets what has happened and would like to manifest its firm and forceful repudiation of the alleged sexual attack that occurred in the early hours of Monday August 14 at the hotel.
“The hotel also wants to demonstrate its solidarity with the alleged victim of this aggression.
“We are co-operating fully with the Civil Guard and its investigators in everything they consider to be necessary.
“This hotel ratifies through this statement its commitment to the condemnation of all types of sexual attacks that affect peoples’ dignity and physical integrity.
“Behaviour that undermines those rights has no place in this establishment.”
It comes after a British teen boy was allegedly sexually assaulted by a taxi driver in the back of a cab in Magaluf in the early hours of August 11.
The 17-year-old lad went to a police station with his mum and claimed the cabbie began touching him up on the way back to his hotel before demanding he perform a sex act on him.
According to local reports, the boy was physically assaulted as he tried to flee.
