The man behind the pub crawl on which an 18-year-old British girl was seen performing sex acts on 24 men said today he would be happy for his own daughter to go on one of their notorious booze marathons.

Paul Smith, who runs Carnage Magaluf, refused to apologise and insisted he had no moral responsibility for the teenager who featured in footage that went viral.

Mr Smith said: “My children including my daughter are in their 20s. But I would have no problem about her going on a Carnage pub crawl. Carnage doesn’t condone the activities that went on in that video.”

He added: “I wasn’t the one who forced her to get to the floor. I’m not going to apologise to her family, I’m sorry. I’ve no moral responsibility for this. I wasn’t even fully aware of it at the time.

“The girl involved even bought a ticket for the following night’s Carnage tour. Carnage didn’t encourage her, so why should I say sorry? We’re giving memories of Magaluf, that’s all."

“Personally I was disgusted by the sex video and disgusted by the young lady doing it. I can’t say that my reps encouraged that because that’s not what’s happened.”

The unnamed mobile phone sales rep from Co Armagh, Northern Ireland, was brought up by deeply religious parents, who are said to have forgiven her.

But Mr Smith suggested that the parents should share some of the blame.

He told a press conference at one of Carnage Magaluf's nightspots: “She should be spoken to by her parents. Is it something to do with upbringing?”

Mr Smith’s defiant stand came after local authorities announced new licensing rules on bar crawls.

Companies operating pub crawls in Magaluf now have to apply for a licence through the town hall - and guides will be forced to wear special jackets identifying them from other punters. Pub crawl groups will also be limited to 50 people and operators face fines if they exceed that number.

Mr Smith, Carnage Magaluf’s sole director, was flanked by a Spanish lawyer and an interpreter.

He added: “It was wrong for it to have happened - I made a mistake, but I’m only human and I work hard for what I’ve got.

“So we’ll be taking action so nothing like this happens again. There’ll be more security and things like that.”

A video of a British girl performing sex acts on 24 men in a Magaluf bar has caused huge amounts of controversy

The Londoner said: “I don’t want to lose my licence so there’ll definitely be changes. And there needs to be more control of Magaluf.

“I’ve spoken to the authorities, we’ve come to an arrangement of sorts and I want to make sure this doesn’t happen again.”

He also declined to say if John and Danny Daly, the London brothers reported to be the real owners of Carnage Magaluf, were involved in the firm.

Mr Smith also denied his staff and DJ spurred on drunken Brits to act outrageously.

Carnage Magaluf’s Twitter site, however, still continues to show tweets appearing to encourage lewd behaviour on its booze fests.

One says: "What do you prefer on a wild night out on Magaluf strip?...Let’s see who is hardcore!"

"Another, which has since been taken down, said, ‘It was a drinking game…All we asked for was the wildest video in two minutes. She decided to get in the pipe and let loose.’"

Spain’s tourism minister, Isabel Borrego, has met British ambassador, Simon Manley, and the two countries are working on a campaign to encourage more responsible tourists to the one-time family resort.

Last weekend the Balearics government spent £400,000 advertising in UK papers, warning visitors not to misbehave when visiting the popular holiday islands.

One local government official claimed the problem lay with some Brits who were "educationally inadequate".

Mr Smith said he agreed with the actions being taken by authorities, adding, "Carnage doesn’t condone such activities and, personally, the sex video disgusted me. I have kids in their 20s – including a daughter – so I can understand.

"One of the problems is today’s technology. It’s very quick and stuff can get uploaded on to the internet instantly."
