A Spanish tourist in Marrakech has been stoned by a group of youngsters who caught him sexually abusing a young boy.
According to Spanish news agency EFE, the uproar caused by the furious youngsters alerted police in the area of what was happening.
Upon being arrested, the Spanish citizen denied raping the child but later admitted having carried out the sexual attack.
His victim also confirmed he had been sexually abused.
The man is due to appear in a Marrakech court on Friday.
