THREE men suspected of gang-raping a British teenager in Magaluf have been accused of getting her "deliberately drunk".
Cops are awaiting the results of hospital tests to see whether the 18-year-old had her drinks spiked.
The new development emerged today as it was reported that three of the suspects had “deliberately” got the teen drunk with the apparent aim of taking advantage of her before inviting strangers to “free sex” after taking her back to a hotel room “semi-conscious”.
The update in the case comes after two of the suspects were arrested in France on Monday.
Their extradition to Majorca is expected to take place in around two weeks unless the pair oppose their forced return and delay the process.
The first six men arrested, five Frenchmen and a Swiss national aged 18 to 26, are currently behind bars in Spain after being remanded in custody eight days ago by an investigating judge.

Newspaper Ultima Hora reported that the British teenager was unable to defend herself because she was “almost unconscious” after being invited to drinks by three of the suspects during a night out in resort party strip Punta Ballena, citing a police report.
The outlet saidthat leaked police reports and court documents, everything pointed to the mens’ objective with their free drinks invite being to “abuse the female tourist.”

The two arrests were made on Sunday morning after Spanish cops discovered the men had flown to Germany before crossing the border en route to the French city of Strasbourg.
Civil Guard officers say they now consider their probe has concluded, although the judicial investigation is ongoing and will take several months minimum to complete before a judge decides whether there is sufficient evidence to charge the eight men held.
Earlier this week it was reported the first of the Magaluf gang-rape suspects was held after Spanish police got him to answer the ‘stolen’ mobile phone of the British teenager allegedly targeted.
The French youngster picked up the phone and then went with two holiday pals to the lobby of the hotel where the sex attack allegedly took place unaware they would be met by the teenager and detectives assisting her.
All three were arrested on the spot before the other three suspects were located over the following hours after the 18-year-old gave police their descriptions.
The woman’s phone was taken by the men during the alleged gang-rape, it was claimed.
Over the weekend it also emerged the judge who refused the six suspects bail and remanded them in prison pending an ongoing criminal probe had concluded the Brit teen had suffered “really humiliating and degrading treatment” and described the men’s claims sex was consensual as “completely preposterous.”
Mobile phone footage of the alleged sex attack, seized by police on the suspects’ phones and handed over to the investigating judge, is said to have shown the men had been “enjoying themselves and laughing".
The six suspects are understood to be alleging they had consensual sex with the British teenager after meeting her at a party.
BH Mallorca Resort, the hotel where the alleged sex attack took place, has said it is cooperating fully with police and offered its support to the unnamed holidaymakers.
A security guard at the hotel reportedly came to the rescue of the 18-year-old Brit after finding her sobbing on the floor in the lobby.
He called police after finding her around 5am on Monday, recalling how he just come in for his morning shift and describing the police response as very quick and efficient.
Unconfirmed local reports say grip marks were found on the British teenager’s arms during the hospital examination by a medic.
