The Guardia Civil has taken charge of a formal complaint alleging a sexual assault that reportedly occurred on Saturday at a camping site in O Grove. People familiar with the events indicate that both the alleged victim and the person accused of the assault are minors. The investigation is now in the hands of the authorities, who are proceeding with standard procedures to determine what happened and who was involved. The authorities have not released further details about the early stages of their inquiry, noting only that statements from all parties will be collected and that other types of evidence may be reviewed as the case unfolds. This pause allows investigators to build a clear timeline and confirm the circumstances surrounding the incident, while ensuring the rights and safety of all youths affected by the case. The community is watching closely as these young individuals navigate a difficult moment in a busy tourist season, with the camp and surrounding facilities coordinating with local services to maintain a secure environment for guests and residents alike.
News about the incident quickly circulated among local hospitality venues in the seaside town, where visitors and residents alike expressed concern about the safety of minors at a time when the area is at full occupancy. In this context, the Guardia Civil has underscored its commitment to a thorough, impartial probe, emphasizing that a careful collection of testimonies and any additional pruebas will guide the process. Until the inquiry advances, officials refrain from sharing sensitive details in order to protect the privacy of the young people involved and to avoid compromising the investigation. When the proceedings reach a stage suitable for judicial review, the case will be forwarded to the competent court on duty in Cambados and to the Public Prosecutor’s Office for Minors, given that the alleged aggressor is under the age of 16, according to sources cited by this publication. This approach reflects a broader framework aimed at safeguarding minors while maintaining due process for all parties.
In the push to prevent sexual assaults at large gatherings, such as festivals and major events, authorities and organizers are strengthening victim support through dedicated spaces and enhanced law enforcement presence. Initiatives like the so‑called purple points, along with increased patrols, are part of a coordinated effort to ensure that attendees feel empowered to report incidents and seek help promptly. The emphasis remains on early intervention, clear reporting channels, and ongoing training for staff and security personnel to recognize warning signs, respond appropriately, and connect victims with appropriate medical and psychological support. These measures are designed to create safer environments at events while preserving the enjoyment and accessibility of cultural and recreational activities for communities and visitors alike.
