Overview
- The Guardia Civil detained a 35-year-old Venezuelan–French physician in Cullera after two patients accused him of sexual assault during medical visits at the local health center.
- The inquiry began when a woman reported at the Cullera barracks that an urgent care visit for general malaise turned into conduct she says felt sexual under the pretext of treatment.
- Investigators then found a second woman who described similar actions during a consultation with the same doctor.
- A judge ordered the suspect to stay away from the two women and from the town’s clinics, and he was removed from duty as the case moved forward.
- Agents sent the file to the Sueca court’s section that handles violence against women and urged anyone with similar experiences to contact the Cullera Guardia Civil, while El Periódico reported investigators suspect there could be more victims.
