Overview
- An Andalusian high court upheld a Jaén conviction for years of child sexual abuse, confirming 11 years and 8 months in prison plus 8 months for obscene exposure, a €30,000 award, and a 15‑year restraining order while rejecting a mental‑capacity defense.
- In Girona, a man was sentenced to six years for raping his ex‑partner, with judges citing his DNA on her underwear, a thigh injury, and WhatsApp messages; the court also ordered €30,350 in damages, years of post‑prison controls, and a no‑contact order, and the defense has appealed.
- National Police in Valencia detained two brothers accused of raping a woman in a parked car in the Malilla neighborhood after a neighbor called emergency services, and officers found her unconscious, sent her to hospital, and activated the sexual‑assault medical and forensic protocol.
- A provincial court in Palma acquitted an 18‑year‑old after finding major contradictions in the complainant’s and her mother’s accounts and noting messages that showed a prior consensual relationship.
- Taken together, the rulings and detentions highlight how outcomes turn on concrete proof such as DNA and injuries, the consistency of testimony, and prompt police response with forensic sampling and hospital care.
