In the ongoing proceedings at the Girona Court, the third phase of the case will address accusations against a young man who stands accused of a grave sexual crime involving his mother. The charges include a rape allegation carried out in the context of intimate relations and the possession of explicit material on his mobile device. The scheduled session for today was ultimately postponed, with the court setting a new date for November.
According to the indictment, the alleged rape occurred within a time frame spanning from August 2019 to January 2020. The defendant is described as having a significant disability, and there are reports of a health-related irregularity affecting his ability to eat at a local Figueras dining establishment. The public record describes the location as a public restroom near a fairground, and the indictment emphasizes that the alleged act was perpetrated without the victim giving valid consent and without the perpetrator recognizing that the victim was in a distressed state. This detail is presented as a core element of the prosecution’s case. [citation: Girona Court records]
Beyond the core sexual assault charge, the prosecutor’s office is pursuing a substantial total sentence that would exceed 15 years in prison for the accused. The case file includes a large volume of WhatsApp communications between the accused and the alleged victim. The public ministry highlights that the defendant sent multiple photographs of his genitals and urged the victim to share nude images of herself, a request that the defendant ultimately complied with. There are also claims of offers of money in exchange for sexual acts. [citation: Court filings and prosecutorial notes]
The charges brought by the prosecution include an aggravated penetrative sexual assault and a separate offense related to possessing and disseminating pornographic material involving a vulnerable person. The legal proceedings reflect how prosecutors are linking the alleged acts to the exploitation of vulnerability, alongside the sexual assault allegation, to argue for a stricter punishment. The court’s handling of the case remains part of a broader framework in which courts assess credibility, consent, and the potential impact on the victim. [citation: Legal briefs and case overview]
