The desire to set foot in Spain again.

But then she found a man who agreed to satisfy her. He told her his name was Alejandro and convinced him that it was best for them to leave together and go home. The security camera captured footage of Phil and Alejandro handing the keys to the lockers at the sauna reception and exiting Alejandro’s house.

Nightmare

It took until Alejandro left Barcelona and arrived in a town stunned by Phil’s jet lag and the ‘tub’ he drank that night – a drug used for ‘quem sex’ sessions, mixing substances with drugs and sex. So that the relationships would last for hours, he didn’t know which one it was or how far from his hotel he was. became a municipality dockin the region anoia. Alejandro parked and they entered his house. The problems started.

The house was not empty. There was a woman and a younger boy, whom Phil said was Alejandro’s sister and son. But then more men came, “six or seven.” Suddenly, Phil, preparing to have a night of sex with Alejandro, finds himself in a strange house surrounded by strangers who are increasingly frightening. “They insisted that I consume more drugs and alcohol. So I did,” he said. Even though he doesn’t know what medicine it is. Maybe cocaine. Frightened, Phil asked Alejandro to accompany him to his hotel. But Alejandro, who turned that unlucky night for love into a real nightmare, said no to him.

“I was so scared,” insisted Phil, that the group began asking him for money and handed it over for fear of getting hurt, and eventually locked him in a room for hours that felt like days. First they kept about 300 euros that Phil carried with him in cash. Then they asked for more and took their credit card. They took him out of the room to tour the ATM branches in Piera and surrounding towns. However, Phil, who kept his reflexes working despite his condition, got the password wrong every time. Alejandro changed his strategy and took advantage of the weather to have already cleared to take Phil shopping.

They went into a tobacconist and spent about 400 euros on tobacco with Phil’s card. He later bought pans worth 300 Euros at an electrical appliances store. This was not enough and according to the victim’s account, Phil had to request a money transfer via Western Union. Phil obeyed and beckoned his sister to send him the 1,500 euros he had given to Alejandro. It wasn’t enough either. Then it occurred to Phil to tell Alejandro that he could give him more money if he took him to his hotel room. Alexander stung.

recovery

At around nine o’clock on the night of January 9, 2020, almost 24 hours after they met, Phil and Alejandro entered the Alexandra hotel. Phil approached the counter as Alejandro waited a few yards for the key to the room. Phil took advantage of that moment to ask the receptionist for help. “This man is stealing from me,” she said, coming close to his ear and almost in a whisper. Confused, the receptionist addressed Alejandro directly: “He says you stole from him.”

The hotel employee, who also testified at Monday’s hearing, was fed up with serving customers who were robbed while speaking to him but had never met anyone who was robbed at the time. So he asked the person directly what it was. But Alejandro misjudged the receptionist’s disbelief and made the mistake of running away. The clerk followed him and stopped him as he left the revolving door. He held it in his hand until Mossos arrived.

One of the Catalan police inspectors who took up Phil’s complaint already knew Alejandro and stressed on Monday that the accused had a police record for similar acts: deceiving tourists he knew in the sauna.

Alejandro, whom the prosecution wants to face 6 years in prison, said he had sex with Phil for 500 euros – because he had children and was unemployed at the time – and said so for the rest of the night. , They both had a good time: consuming alcohol and drugs. He also claimed that Phil spent €700 on tobacco and pans and gave him cash because he wanted it. Therefore, his lawyer wants acquittal as there was no coercion. And because, despite police records describing a customary practice of Alejandro, there is no conviction about it. The criminal record that Alejandro carries is fake.

The key to the prosecution will be to prove coercion. To make it clear that this isn’t a party night, it’s a nightmare night.
