Overview

• In Ourense, Spain, a music teacher’s 13.5‑year sentence for abusing a pupil from age 12 to 16 is final, and a national search‑and‑arrest order is active after he could not be located when the court opened executory proceedings on September 15.
• Court records show no restrictive measures were imposed after his conviction and before final judgment, and neither the prosecutor nor the private accuser sought provisional imprisonment, a gap highlighted as the teacher remains at large.
• In Palma, Mallorca, a 51‑year‑old pleaded guilty to continued abuse of a 14‑year‑old and received a two‑year term that he will not enter immediately after paying €50,000, with prosecutors cutting their initial 12‑year request as part of the agreement.
• In Santa Fe, Argentina, a 19‑year‑old man, his mother, and her partner were ordered into preventive detention on charges including illegal deprivation of liberty, sexual abuse, and promoting the prostitution of a minor held in a locked room.
• Separately, Argentina’s courts reported a 12‑year prison conviction in Rafaela for a grandfather who abused his granddaughter, while a prosecutor in Sierra de la Ventana asked for 35 years in a pending case of alleged long‑term abuse.
