Overview

• Basque police say at least six complaints have been lodged over alleged offenses at the Sarrea-run Bernedo camp, including one reported sexual assault and other reports tied to sexual freedom, exhibitionism and coercion.
• The Vitoria Juzgado No. 3 has summoned three minors to testify as the judicial phase advances.
• Gipuzkoa will appear in the case as a private prosecutor because two affected minors are under its guardianship.
• Testimonies describe forced mixed showers with adults, monitors walking naked and a caregiver urging a child to suck a toe, while Sarrea defends its program as aiming to “normalize all bodies.”
• Senior judicial figures criticized a slow initial response after police opened an inquiry in January and the case stalled in court, and authorities now call for updating 1985 rules that left private camps in a regulatory limbo.
