Overview
- In hearings on Thursday and Friday, July 16–17, 2026, the Sección Cuarta of the Audiencia Provincial de València heard testimony from the victim, her partner and multiple witnesses.
- The victim said the assaults occurred between June and September 2021 and estimated seven to eight non‑consensual incidents that included physical violence, threats and one episode in which she bled from a blow to the abdomen.
- Forensic doctors from the Instituto de Medicina Legal presented a report the court treated as compatible with the victim's account and concluded her post‑traumatic shock matched the reported assaults.
- The accused denied the charges and argued the encounters were consensual paid sex, while defense witnesses based claims that the woman prostituted herself on local rumors rather than direct evidence.
- Prosecutors and the victim's lawyer are seeking a 10‑year jail term, six years of supervised liberty, a 12‑year restraining order and nearly €52,000 in compensation and the trial remains open pending a final verdict.
