In Palma de Mallorca, a high-profile case is unfolding as prosecutors seek a lengthy prison sentence for a man accused of sexual offenses against his girlfriend’s sister, a minor. The indictment contends that the suspect engaged in sexually abusive conduct over an extended period, persuaded the girl to participate in sexually explicit acts on camera, and used threats to keep the abuse from coming to light. Prosecutors seek substantial compensation for the minor, while a private lawsuit led by prominent lawyers pursues additional prison time and damages. The trial is expected to occur at the Palma Provincial Court in the near future, marking a pivotal moment in addressing such crimes. (Source: Palma Provincial Court)

According to court documents, the alleged abuses began in September 2020 when the defendant, then 25 years old, leveraged the close relationship between his girlfriend and her sister. Early communications included messages and material the accuser characterizes as deeply invasive and coercive, intended to establish a sense of trust and control. Over time, the allegations describe escalating misconduct, including touching and sexual activity with the minor, at times within the home where privacy was available. The filings assert that the perpetrator engaged in intercourse with the girl on a regular basis during a three-week period and used a mixture of manipulation and threats to ensure continued participation. Investigators report that the accused directed the minor to record encounters and to exchange intimate photographs and videos via messaging platforms. (Source: Palma Provincial Court)

The case highlights the forced silencing tactics alleged by the prosecution. It is claimed that the defendant insisted the girl keep silent about what was happening and warned that her family would suffer harm if she disclosed the events. Such allegations are central to charges of sexual assault and child pornography. The compensation sought by prosecutors includes a monetary sum intended to aid the minor as she processes the trauma and seeks restitution for the harm caused. The private lawsuit adds to the potential penalties, requesting a longer prison term and additional damages. (Source: Palma Provincial Court)

Serious psychological consequences

The case also underscores the lasting impact on the young victim. Reports indicate that after the events were reported to the police, authorities located sexually explicit images on the defendant’s mobile device. The minor reportedly required psychological support to cope with the trauma, and there have been subsequent attempts at self-harm linked to the distress caused by the abuse. The investigation and legal proceedings reflect the broader concern about the mental health and safety of victims in sexual crime cases. (Source: Palma Provincial Court)

In the months following the discoveries, authorities placed the suspect under provisional detention and obtained a restraining order to protect the minor involved. The legal process is described as moving through the courts with a plan to proceed in the Palma Provincial Court over the coming months, as prosecutors and the defense prepare their arguments and evidentiary filings. The case continues to draw attention to the safeguards and legal remedies available to victims of sexual exploitation and child pornography. (Source: Palma Provincial Court)
