THIS is the horrifying moment a group of Magaluf sex predators say "let's go for it" after they find a "drunk" British woman alone at night.
Terrified Ellie Flynn was forced to escape after several men said they would "go for it" after finding her on a beach lounger.

The disturbing encounter is shown in the new film, Magaluf Undercover: Predators and Parties.
It aims to expose the "predatory underbelly" of the popular holiday destination and will be available to stream on Channel 4 and YouTube from Friday, November 1.
Hair-raising trailer footage shows two local men walk over to Ellie, an undercover journalist, and notice her pretend “drunk” state.
One approaches and tries it on with her before she mumbles a refusal.
He dominantly leans over her while she is slumped on a lounger and asks: "Are you good? Do you want to talk for a little bit?"
To which Ellie replies: "I'm good."
The sex predator continues to bombard her and says: "You are my last chance, do you want to kiss a little bit?".
Ellie tells him: "No".
Secret cameras operated by TV crew, hidden around the lounger, show the man walking away.
But instead of leaving, he goes to recruit another thug.
“She’s completely wasted,” he tells him in Spanish, before calling out “Let’s go for it!”.
A third man moves in beside Ellie on the sun lounger saying: “If you want, I can keep you company.”
After the horrifying encounter, Ellie said: "The arrival of the third male startled and genuinely scared me.
"I had seen the first two together, but the sudden appearance of another — and having no idea at the time if they were together — was enough for me to signal security to get me out.
"I leave the beach upset and frightened, feeling like I’ve experienced an orchestrated attempt to target drunk women alone on a night out in Magaluf.
"Shockingly, this was not an isolated incident, but a pattern that emerged across my three nights in the resort town."

Ellie's traumatising encounter came on her third night out in the tourist hotspot.
On her first night filming, she caught a group of men on camera watching her for ten minutes while she pretended to be slumped drunk outside a fast food shop.
As she stumbled away, one of them signalled to his mated and followed her before asking if she was okay.
He told her he has a car during their chilling exchange - during which Ellie is slurring and swaying.
Another undercover reporter Emily Birtley, 23, had been with Ellie shortly beforehand.
"Despite this, he repeatedly asked why I was alone, where my mates were and suggested he could help me — all while telling me that I’m beautiful, and standing much closer than I was comfortable with," said Ellie afterwards.
The new Channel 4 film comes after three alleged gang rapes in Magaluf and nearby areas last year.
Calvia, the region Magaluf is situated in, has the highest number of reported sex assaults per inhabitant in the whole of Spain.
Matilda, 18, visited this summer with her pal Emmie, who is the same age — an experience that left them feeling “helpless and vulnerable”.
She said: “Guys grab you under your skirt or your dress and touch people’s private parts.
“I wish that people could travel to these places and party and have fun, but still feel safe.”
Another young woman said she ended up alone on the beach after her drink was spiked in Magaluf in July last year.
She explained: “I just started to feel worse and worse.
“I could barely speak, I could barely walk.”
Journalists Ellie and Emily said they endured repeated incidents of sexual harassment and inappropriate touching across their three nights undercover.
The vast majority of approaches involved holidaymakers, mostly from the UK, Italy and France, the pair said.
The local Government has made efforts to clean up Magaluf, with “excess” laws introduced in 2020.
There is now a limit on alcohol deals and shops no longer sell booze throughout the night.
The rules also include fines for being topless and naked in public, plus the police presence has increased.
But, these efforts have failed to reduce the number of sexual assaults.
In fact, reports have increased and cases are now at their highest levels.
