The Second Section of the Provincial Court of Las Palmas will try next March 10 an accused of sexually assaulting a six-year-old girl, niece of a friend, in the latter's home in Playa Honda.
The events date back to 2018, when the accused V.J.P.B. lived in the same house as the minor. Taking advantage of the relationship he had with the girl's uncle, the alleged aggressor took advantage at a certain moment and entered her room while she was sleeping, where he touched her vagina without inserting his fingers or another object.
The Public Prosecutor's Office accuses him of a sexual crime against a minor under 16 years old because this case is prior to the "Only Yes is Yes" Law of 2022.
Therefore, the Prosecutor's Office requests six years in prison for the accused V.J.P.B. and special disqualification from exercising the right to stand for election during this period. In addition, the prohibition from approaching the victim, her relatives and her surroundings within 500 meters for five years after having served the sentence, as well as communicating with her.
Likewise, they ask for the accused the the penalty of supervised release for eight years after serving the prison sentence, the obligation to attend sexual education programs and the prohibition from working in any profession that involves contact with minors for a period of five years after the prison sentence.
Finally, the Prosecutor's Office also asks that compensate the victim with 10,000 euros for the moral damages caused to the minor, as well as bear the legal costs.
