Lleida Father Re-Arrested for Breaking Restraining Order After Alleged Assault on Daughter

After his initial detention, no party sought pretrial custody, leaving him free under a 200-meter stay-away order.

Overview

  • He was detained on Tuesday after a citizen called 112 to report his presence at the building where the victim lives.
  • Municipal police first arrested the 40-year-old early Sunday after passers-by reported a public sexual assault, with an 8-year-old present as a witness.
  • The case shifted to the Mossos d'Esquadra, who opened an investigation following the court’s decision to release him with charges and a restraining order.
  • The victim told a domestic-violence magistrate the abuse was not isolated and said her father had previously forced her to drink alcohol.
  • Authorities report that emergency calls from bystanders triggered both the initial intervention and the subsequent arrest for the alleged order violation.
