Investigators are examining whether the assault was part of a pattern.

Overview

  • Municipal police detained the 40-year-old around 3 a.m. outside La Llotja on Avinguda Tortosa after a tip about public sex led officers to witness the assault.
  • The attack occurred in the presence of another child, an eight-year-old son, according to police accounts.
  • The 21-year-old victim was taken to Hospital Arnau de Vilanova for care under the sexual assault protocol.
  • A Lleida violence-against-women court released the suspect with charges and imposed a no-contact order and a distance of under 200 meters, the TSJC confirmed.
  • Mossos d'Esquadra are leading the inquiry into possible prior abuse after initial statements and the victim’s judicial ratification, while local services provide ongoing medical, psychological, and social support and the mayor condemned the case.
