Catalan Mossos d’Esquadra police detained on Sunday night a 30-year-old man for an alleged sexual assault to an 18-year-old girl during FC Barcelona Women’s team Champions League celebrations in Barcelona, as first reported by journalist Anna Punsi, and later confirmed by the Catalan News Agency (ACN).

The detainee touched himself in the middle of the thousands of fans who celebrated the victory and ejaculated to the back of an 18-year-old girl when players were already on their way back to the bus.

At the time, the girl and her mother warned Mossos d’Esquadra, who detained the man.

Badalona Magic’s shopping mall

Two underages were detained by the police for an alleged gang-sexual assault offense on a 13-year-old girl in Badalona's Màgic shopping mall, as Spanish daily 'La Vanguardia' first reported, and ACN later confirmed.

Mossos detained the two kids between Tuesday and Wednesday, and they are now awaiting trial.

The investigation is still undergoing as police believe there could be more people involved.

Màgic, in the city just north of Barcelona, has seen at least four sexual assaults reported in the last months. The first one in November was an alleged gang rape by six boys of an 11-year-old girl. Three more cases have since then been denounced.
