Overview
- The woman filed the complaint in late February and the Madrid Court for Violence Against Women No. 12 admitted it this week, but she did not attend Thursday to confirm her account, according to her lawyer, Alfredo Arrién.
- The court will archive the case on a provisional basis, allowing it to be reopened if she later ratifies the complaint within the legal time limit.
- The filing alleged an October 2021 assault involving forced vaginal penetration after contact over Instagram and encounters in a bar, a car and the former deputy’s home.
- Arrién, who also represents actress Elisa Mouliaá, said his client felt she had more to lose than to gain by proceeding; he had asked for protected‑witness treatment that the judge denied.
- Errejón’s defense says he was never summoned or investigated in this second matter and learned of the impending closure from media reports, while the separate Mouliaá case awaits a Provincial Court decision on whether it proceeds to trial.
