Overview

  • Xabier Ron accepted a plea agreement and was given nine and a half years in prison after admitting repeated sexual assaults on a girl who was 12 when the abuse took place.
  • The court ordered €82,000 in compensation for the victim, a 19.5‑year restraining order, 10 years of supervised release after prison and a 15‑year ban on working with minors.
  • Judicial documents say the abuse happened in multiple encounters between July and November 2024 and that forensic tests detected a sexually transmitted infection in the child.
  • Ron was arrested by the Guardia Civil at the end of January 2025 and has been held in pretrial detention since then while investigators searched his school and two homes for evidence.
  • The sentence was reached by conformidad, a Spanish plea process that avoided a full trial, and has prompted statements distancing Ron from his former political groups while ending his teaching career.
