The Family and Women’s Unit of the Aragon Police Department (UFAM) is examining allegations concerning a teacher at the Zaragoza Municipal Professional Dance Conservatory. Reports indicate that three teenagers, two of whom are minors, came forward with concerns about inappropriate conduct by the instructor. The City Council has stated that the teacher has been temporarily removed from duties while the investigation proceeds.
The arrest of the teacher did not immediately terminate his status in the civil service, as he remains in a role under review. The incident reportedly occurred at the end of May, after investigators collected statements from three complainants aged 19 and 16, and further corroboration was reported by regional media. Additional complaints from students have prompted the opening of an informational file as authorities look into prior incidents.
According to the accusations, the instructor, identified as RTT and described as of Hispanic descent with no prior criminal record, is alleged to have inappropriately touched students, approached them too closely, and asked intrusive questions about their personal lives. Accounts also describe inappropriate comments and offers of massages with creams. In some instances, it is claimed, hair ties were removed from jerseys, signaling a pattern of boundary violations.

The suspect has been placed at the disposal of a magistrate with the Civil Court of First Instance No. 3 in Zaragoza. A temporary release was granted under a mutual obligation to observe a 100-meter protective radius around the alleged victims, along with a communications ban. The case is being handled by the Capital Investigation Court No. 4, and the investigation has involved testimony from the affected students who studied classical dance. School administrators and the conservatory director have appeared as witnesses, and the court has indicated it will act against anyone who could be harmed by the teacher’s alleged conduct.
In response to the incident, the Zaragoza City Hall signaled that it will pursue criminal charges as well as civil action to secure compensation for the students and the municipal administration for immaterial damages claimed. Following a government review, the consortium will be named as a special plaintiff in the proceedings.
Separately, the city council has initiated a disciplinary process against the detained instructor for alleged sexual misconduct. The outcomes of the investigation will be referred to the municipal Labor Relations service for appropriate action.
The Zaragoza Municipal Conservatory of Professional Dance operates at the former Palafox barracks on Calle Miracle Sunday and offers two levels of education: Primary and Professional. It remains the only center in the autonomous community providing formal studies in this artistic discipline. The conservatory employs more than twenty teachers and serves roughly 180 students.
Authorities continue to emphasize that the investigation remains ongoing, with officials promising transparency as new information becomes available. While the case unfolds, the community seeks reassurance that student safety remains the top priority and that proper steps will be taken to address any breaches of trust.
