A 33-year-old Romanian was arrested in Spain after kissing a four-year-old British child at a hotel pool.

A 33-year-old Romanian man was arrested in the resort of Magaluf in Mallorca, Spain, after allegedly kissing a four-year-old British boy on the face, who was at a hotel pool.

The incident occurred on May 10, when the man reportedly approached the child, hugging him and kissing him on the face, in front of other tourists.

The child's mother, shocked by the events, immediately confronted the suspect, and witnesses alerted hotel staff and the police.

The man was detained and taken to court, but details about the court's decision were unclear, as the hearing took place behind closed doors.

This is not the first incident of this kind in the area; recently, another man was arrested for the kidnapping and sexual assault of a young British woman. These events highlight concerns regarding the safety of tourists in popular resorts in Mallorca.
