Overview
- The teacher was arrested by the Policía Nacional on 13 October and placed in provisional detention without bail on 16 October, court sources say.
- He is being investigated for several sexual crimes against minors, including sexual assault, prostitution of minors, child pornography and grooming.
- Police have seized phones, computers and storage devices and the court has ordered a forensic volcado of that material to find evidence and identify additional victims.
- Authorities have so far identified at least 12 child victims from alleged conduct between 2019 and 2024 and say the number could rise as digital analysis continues.
- The suspect had a prior 2024 detention that did not lead to a conviction, which under current Spanish checks allowed him to keep teaching and has prompted questions about how background screening records only final convictions.
