A MAN has been fined €1,920 by a Malaga court for attempting to sexually abuse a 10-year-old British girl in Rincon de la Victoria.
The girl was approached by the man, aged 21, when she was using a portable toilet while enjoying a day on the beach with her family.
The court was told that the man took his trousers down and asked the girl to touch his genitals threatening to hurt her if she did not so, according to Malaga newspaper SUR.
Shortly afterwards the girl’s father saw she was shaken and crying, to which he reacted by forcibly detaining the man, SUR said.
An off duty local police officer was alerted by the owners of a newsstand next to where the events took place.
The officer helped detain the man until a Guardia Civil unit arrived and charged him with alleged indecent exposure and attempted sexual abuse.
The girl was taken to the Rincon de la Victoria health centre for a medical examination.
The court found the man guilty of exhibitionism.
