UFAM Advances Child Sex-Offense Investigations in Fuengirola and Palma

Preconstituted testimonies are driving custody and protection decisions.

Overview

  • In Fuengirola, a teacher was jailed in June after Sala Gesell interviews with two children under 10 were accepted as preconstituted evidence, and a Málaga court later upheld his detention.
  • The case began when police found a young girl's diary describing alleged abuse by her teacher, leading to the suspect's detention and an April court appearance.
  • The suspect denies the allegations, remains in pretrial detention under the summary process, and new witness statements are being taken this week.
  • In Palma, police detained a man accused of chasing a girl in a park and masturbating in front of her, with UFAM leading the investigation.
  • Also in Palma, a 24-year-old arrested over alleged sexual aggression against his 14-year-old girlfriend was released by a duty magistrate with a 500‑metre restraining order.
