Seville Forensic Doctor to Stand Trial Over Alleged Humiliation of Sexual Assault Victims

Prosecutors say she violated the 2021 forensic protocol by degrading patients in three hospital cases, deterring some from filing complaints.

Overview

  • The case is set to be heard starting Tuesday, November 18, in Criminal Court No. 4 of Seville.
  • The Seville prosecutor charges three counts of crimes against moral integrity under Article 175 and seeks prison time plus professional disqualification.
  • Provisional filings reproduce alleged remarks to patients such as “¿Ves lo que pasa cuando bebes?” and “La próxima vez tienes que escribir con tu sangre la palabra ‘NO’.”
  • The incidents cited occurred on September 6, 2019, October 12, 2022, and November 1, 2022, with prosecutors saying some women abandoned complaints after feeling blamed.
  • Andalusia’s Justice Department opened an administrative file in March 2023 and removed the doctor from victim care; she remains employed with limited duties and maintains her innocence.
