Overview
- José Manuel Peña and Zara Villar appeared at the Seville Juvenile Prosecutor’s Office to testify as injured witnesses in their 14-year-old daughter Sandra’s case.
- Prosecutors also took statements from the school’s director, head of studies, tutor and counselor, and plan to question the three classmates next Monday.
- Two investigative tracks remain open: a criminal inquiry into three minors allegedly involved and a review of the school’s handling of anti-bullying and self-harm protocols.
- The National Police minors unit has delivered its report to prosecutors, and phone analysis has not yielded conclusive evidence due to deleted messages and ephemeral chats.
- The Junta de Andalucía has set up a conciliation commission to weigh sanctions that could include loss of the public funding agreement, while the government proposes stricter online child-protection rules such as raising the social-media age to 16 and penalizing grooming and deepfakes involving minors.
