A group of National Police officers in Badajoz has detained three boys, aged 14 to 17, in connection with allegations of sexual assault against three classmates at Virgen de Guadalupe School, located in the San Roque neighborhood. According to official channels from the local police outpost, investigators began by assessing reports that the complainants, all female students, may have been subjected to inappropriate advances before a potential assault occurred. The case has prompted a formal inquiry into the sequence of events and the role of several students within the school environment.
The probe is being conducted under the authority of the prosecutor’s office and with the involvement of the Family and Women’s Care Unit. Law enforcement officers have interviewed the victims, who are minors, and have collected witness statements and other relevant evidence to determine whether the actions under review meet the criteria for crimes related to sexual integrity. Early findings indicate that six students may have participated in the incident, with three of them arrested on June 15 on charges associated with sexual misconduct. A separate student who was under 14 at the time was not detained, and two additional individuals were not arrested for reasons related to their age. The ongoing process includes careful documentation of each statement and the preservation of all material that can corroborate the events described by the victims.
The National Police have handed the case to the prosecutor’s office, which will decide the appropriate next steps in coordination with the Children’s Prosecutor. Authorities emphasized the importance of safeguarding the rights of the minors involved while ensuring a thorough and transparent inquiry. As more details emerge, the case will continue to be reviewed by the relevant judicial and social welfare bodies to assess accountability, support for the victims, and any necessary measures within the school setting to prevent a recurrence of such incidents.
