Magaluf bar closed, fined after teen was filmed performing sex acts there

Playhouse, a club on the Spanish island of Majorca where an 18-year-old from Northern Ireland was recorded performing sex acts on 24 men, and Carnage Magaluf, the organization that planned the bar crawl, must pay more than $73,800 and shut down for a year, local authorities ruled.

DAVID RAMOS/GETTY IMAGESMagaluf is known for its beaches and nightlife. A bar in the resort area and a party planning organization have been fined and will be forced to close for 12 months if they cannot appeal the local council’s decision.

A Spanish bar where a teen was reportedly filmed performing a sex act on two dozen men in exchange for a "holiday" has been shuttered and slapped with a hefty fine.

Authorities in Magaluf, a resort on the island of Majorca, said they have pinpointed Playhouse as the nightclub where the lewd acts took place,according to The Local.

The shocking video of the incident, which is said to have taken place during a 12-hour bar crawl organized by Majorca-based party planning company Carnage Magaluf, shows a 18-year-old from Northern Ireland taking part in a game.

After being encouraged to drink, she was told she would receive a free "holiday," but was instead given a free cocktail called a "holiday," according to The Mirror.

This sex-for-alcohol trend is known as "mamading," which The Local reports is derived from the Spanish word for oral sex.

Playhouse and Carnage have been told to pay a joint fine of more than $73,800 (55,000 euros).

Both businesses have also been told they must shut their doors for a year if they are unable to appeal the council's decision, according to the Belfast Telegraph.

"The town hall won't tolerate activities of the kind featured in the video under any circumstances," a council rep said, according to The Mirror. "We will use all the laws we have available to us to ensure there is no repetition."

After the video leaked, Carnage Magalluf posted something of a "sorry not sorry" message on Twitter.

"We are not responsible for the (girl's) actions. The girl and her 8 friends bought tickets for the next BARCRAWL as they said it was AMAZING!" the organization tweeted on July 4. "All you need to do is look at the video and you can see she clearly isn't drunk and knows what she is doin. Definitely not forced in any way."

Director Paul Smith told The Mirror he would release a statement in the coming days.
