Overview
- The Second Section of the Provincial Court found a continued pattern of abuse when the girl was 9 to 13 during the family’s 2017–2020 cohabitation.
- Judges concluded he exploited his position as a de facto father and an age and authority imbalance to carry out the abuse.
- The court credited the victim’s testimony and documented a severe anxious‑depressive disorder and a syndrome of accommodation attributable to the assaults.
- Prosecutors and the mother’s private accuser are seeking six years in a separate case alleging sexual touching of the couple’s son during post‑divorce visitation.
- Visitation shifted to supervised contact at a point of encounter and was then suspended in September 2023 as Investigative Court No. 9 in Málaga continues the probe.
