Lleida Father Accused of Raping Daughter Convicted of Restraining-Order Breach and Freed on Suspended Term

The suspended four-month sentence follows a fast-track conviction after his second arrest for approaching his daughter despite a court-imposed exclusion zone.

Overview

  • The 40-year-old was found guilty in a rapid hearing of violating a 200‑metre no‑contact order and received a four‑month prison term suspended for two years due to a clean record.
  • He was re-arrested Tuesday after going to his daughter's residence shortly after being released under precautionary measures set by the gender-violence court.
  • On Monday he had been freed with a restraining order and communication ban, with the regional court noting pretrial detention was not imposed because no party sought it.
  • Mossos d'Esquadra continue to investigate the alleged sexual assault and possible prior abuses, and the man's wife has filed a separate complaint for habitual mistreatment in Colombia.
  • Police say the case began early Sunday when a witness alerted officers to a suspected assault in a public square, the 21-year-old underwent a forensic exam, and an 8-year-old present was placed with his mother.
