VTC Driver Detained in A Coruña on Suspicion of Sexual Assault of a Minor

Police opened an inquiry after the minor filed a complaint and media reports conflict over whether the driver was linked to the Bolt platform.

Overview

  • Police say officers detained the driver following a formal complaint from the girl, with reports indicating the arrest took place on Saturday.
  • The complaint alleges the driver used obscene language, carried out sexual touching, and attempted to kiss and lick the victim’s ear during a VTC trip.
  • Passengers who rode in the back seat are reported to have witnessed the alleged incident and the group filed the complaint once they reached their destination.
  • Coverage differs on the driver’s employer: one outlet names Bolt and says the company opened an internal probe while other reports say the driver’s platform affiliation has not been confirmed.
  • Authorities are keeping identifying details private to protect the minor as the Unidad de Atención a la Familia y Mujer leads the early criminal investigation and the case could intensify local debate over ride‑hailing oversight.
