Guardia Civil, Juvenile Prosecutor Probe Alleged Sexual Assault of Six-Year-Old at Las Rozas School

Authorities are applying juvenile procedures that require a review of the school's protective protocols.

Overview

  • Guardia Civil in Las Rozas and the Juvenile Prosecutor are investigating reports that a six-year-old was assaulted by older classmates at Colegio Público San José de Las Matas.
  • The child's parents filed a complaint in mid-November naming several 11-year-old pupils as well as the school's leadership.
  • A medical exam that identified bruises, pinch marks, and other injuries on the child's arms prompted the complaint.
