A man in his 30s was arrested on Thursday afternoon in Lanzarote for allegedly sexually assaulting a minor of 14 years old in a shopping center on the island, while she was with another minor.

As confirmed by the Civil Guard command to La Voz, the events took place at 6:00 p.m. this Thursday at the Deiland Shopping Center, in the municipality of San Bartolomé.

The complaint has been filed by the family of one of the minors, who was allegedly sexually assaulted by the man at the entrance of the supermarket, after he touched her.

When the minor's parents and the shopping center's security personnel reprimanded the man for the assault, he lowered his pants and began to masturbate.

As La Voz has learned, the detainee has not yet been brought to justice.
