Family Dispute and Alleged Abuse in Barcelona Court Case

A case unfolding in Terrasa, near Barcelona, centers on allegations of ill-treatment directed at a young man by his parents and, initially, by evangelical pastors linked to a strict branch of Evangelical Christianity. The allegations surfaced in 2017 when the young man, who later assessed his own sexual orientation with his family, reported that he was repeatedly subjected to coercive and humiliating treatment after telling his parents he identified as gay at the age of 18. The court proceedings entered the ninth section of the Barcelona Court, where the case pursues charges that also involve the son and the son’s partner, who claim to have been harmed by the same set of events.
