A MARRIED woman charged with groping a teen boy on holiday confessed she did it because she “got horny”.
The 38-year-old unnamed Irish woman, who was 37 at the time, allegedly assaulted the man nearly 20 years her junior while staying at the swanky Martinique Hotel in Magaluf.
Public prosecutors are now seeking a one-and-a-half year jail term if she is convicted at trial.
On top of prison time, they want the woman to pay her accuser £440 in compensation for the trauma he allegedly suffered.
They also want her banned from working with minors for two years after release and ordered to pay court costs if convicted.
Well-placed sources at the hotel claim the woman struck up a conversation with the young Swedish man in the hotel sauna on the evening of June 3.

Her accuser alleges she then followed him into the hotel’s Turkish steam bath and jumped in “with a lustful spirit” before fondling his genitals without consent.
The assault ended with her accuser saying “no, no, no” and leaving.
After alerting hotel staff, the woman was swiftly apprehended and whisked away to the police station.
Reports at the time said the Irish woman, who was born in Brazil, was with her husband at the time of her arrest.
According to Crimeworldshe told the court the next day: “I got horny. I thought he was interested in me too, that we were flirting,
“I apologised right away. I was very embarrassed, I’m sorry.”
The woman was later released on bail and has since returned to Ireland.
Her lawyer Joan Arbos, well-known in Palma, said earlier this year he was going to ask for the case to be “discontinued” on the basis he “didn’t consider a crime had taken place.”
A spokesman for the Civil Guard said shortly after the arrest: “The alleged sexual aggressor, aged 37, who was in a sauna with a Swedish man… was accused of touching the victim’s private parts without consent.
“When officers arrived the victim was visibly upset.
“After carrying out inquiries, they proceeded to arrest the suspected offender, who was handed over to the courts.”
No date for the trial has yet been set. Prison sentences of two years or less are normally suspended in Spain for first-time offenders.
Earlier this month, a Scottish holidaymaker was allegedly sexually assaulted at a tattoo parlour in Ibiza.
It is claimed that the 50-year-old tattoo artist “took advantage” of the 21-year-old tourist in the alleged assault claimed to have lasted 25 minutes.
The alleged victim was reportedly left unable to react out of “fear and anguish” according to Spanish public prosecutors and only alerted police in Scotland when she returned home.
A court in Majorca will try the man charged over the alleged late-night June 15 2022 incident at an Ibiza tattoo parlour at a court in the Majorcan capital Palma on Tuesday.
The alleged sex offender, believed to be an Argentinian-born Spaniard who was already known to police, has not been named ahead of his trial where three professional judges rather than a jury will decide his fate.

Public prosecutors say they want him jailed for six years if he is convicted of sexually abusing the Scots tourist, 21 at the time, and ordered to pay her £13,200.
They also want him barred from working as a tattoo artist for eight years and are seeking a 10-year restraint order preventing him from going within 200 metres of his victim if he is found guilty.
