- Authorities confiscated extensive audiovisual material and a patient list that media report links to about 131 potential victims and roughly 500 suspicious videos, and investigators are now reviewing the files.
- The detained man, reported to be about 60 years old, faces initial charges for violations of intimacy and, in some cases, alleged sexual assault and has been placed in provisional prison by judicial order.
- The Ayuntamiento de Rivas-Vaciamadrid has opened the municipal gender-violence support point to offer psychological and legal assistance to victims and is assessing whether to personarse como acusación popular within legal limits.
