A 42-year-old man was detained in Madrid on suspicion of sexually abusing his partner’s two children, a 12-year-old girl and a 14-year-old boy, over a period of more than a year. Authorities have not released the exact names involved, but the case centers on the alleged harm the children experienced in a home setting. He is accused of approaching the children in ways that violated their personal boundaries and safety, actions that have prompted a formal investigation by local police and prosecutors.
The incidents are said to have occurred in a residence on Isidra Jiménez Street in the Usera district. Reports indicate that the mother of the two minors was taken into custody in connection with the case. Police sources have supplied information about the case to national news agencies to aid in documenting the events as investigators pursue every lead related to the abuse claims.
On the day the allegations surfaced, the missing piece of the puzzle unfolded when the minors told their uncle about the improper behavior. The uncle confronted the alleged abuser in the presence of the mother’s brother and the two children. A physical confrontation followed, resulting in the uncle sustaining a mouth injury after being punched by the accused. After the altercation, the man, accompanied by his sister and the children, left the residence and approached municipal police officers to report the incident and seek help. He described actions that he claimed were aimed at harming his nephews, who were also described as potential victims in the case.
According to the testimony provided by the uncle and the minors, the man allegedly entered his stepson’s bed on more than one occasion and engaged in touching behaviors of a sexual nature. The children reportedly disclosed the abuse numerous times to their mothers, yet they felt their concerns were dismissed. The minors explained that their reports were ignored and that their claims were dismissed as exaggerations or lies, which allowed the abuse to continue unchecked for a considerable period.
Following the initial statements and the gathered testimonies, the National Police moved quickly to detain the Colombian man believed to be responsible for the sexual abuse, as well as the mother who allegedly sanctioned the activity. The arrests mark a critical step in a case that has drawn attention to the vulnerability of minors in domestic settings and the importance of responsive, protective action from caregivers when allegations arise. Investigators will continue to collect evidence, interview witnesses, and assess medical and psychological assessments to determine the full scope of the alleged wrongdoing and the impact on the victims.
