Overview
- A Las Palmas court ordered the 37-year-old physician held without bail and temporarily barred him from practicing medicine, with restraining orders issued for the complainants.
- Investigators searched his home, seized a phone, a laptop, and hard drives, and are examining them for evidence of non-consensual images of patients’ intimate areas.
- Judicial filings cite 11 alleged victims who were patients in Telde, while police say they have identified nine women and a witness so far.
- The doctor was first detained in February over similar claims, has prior arrests and a prior conviction for sexual offenses, and chose not to testify before the judge.
- The case centers on alleged groping and body manipulation presented as care in public health centers, which the court says abused the unequal doctor–patient dynamic, and the investigation remains open to identify more women and verify conduct in SCS clinics.
