A PAIR of teenage Norwegian tourists were ‘too drunk to make a coherent statement to police’ after they were arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting a mother and daughter in a Malaga nightclub.
The incident occurred at Sala Gold nightclub on Calle Luis de Velázquez in the early hours of Monday morning, when the suspects, both 18, repeatedly harassed a group of work friends enjoying a night out in the venue’s VIP area.
Despite being asked to leave them alone, the teenagers continued to pursue the women – aged 41 and 22 – before allegedly groping the both mother and daughter’s bottoms.

Policia Local were alerted to the scene at around 4am by a witness who reported the sexual assault. Officers interviewed the victims, who explained how the constant harassment had escalated into unwanted touching despite their clear requests for the men to stop.
One of the Norwegian suspects admitted to the assault when questioned by police, while his companion was reportedly too drunk to speak.
