Educator at Málaga Child Protection Center Detained on Three Counts of Continuous Sexual Assault of Minors

Police opened the case after a former resident, now 21, reported abuse suffered as a child.

Overview

  • Authorities say the 38-year-old suspect has been placed at judicial disposal on charges involving minors under 16.
  • Two additional complaints were filed, with police describing a pattern of targeting especially vulnerable children.
  • Investigators report that one alleged victim had a disability exceeding 50 percent and two lacked family ties, remaining at the center on weekends.
  • Police interviewed the current director and learned that similar allegations raised internally in 2015 did not advance due to inconclusive findings.
