Overview
- The provincial court sentenced the secondary-school teacher to four and a half years for two counts of online sexual approach to under-16s plus one count of conditional threats.
- Judges found he used a fake social-media profile during the 2023–2024 school year to contact three pupils with sexual remarks and serious proposals to meet that never occurred.
- The ruling leaned on messages and images recovered from the girls’ phones along with steady, matching testimony from them and from school staff.
- The panel said he committed conditional threats by emailing students to delete screenshots and warning that police would track phones if he filed a report.
- The court also recorded a minor harassment offense over his request for a girl’s home address, while acquitting him of alleged paid-sex solicitation and sexual exhibition, with the sentence open to appeal to the Basque High Court.
