An 18-year-old woman was assaulted in a field near a Malva-rosa nightclub last weekend, according to statements reported by local authorities. She alleges that she was lured into a situation where cocaine was offered, and that the attack occurred after she agreed to meet with companions in a car park area away from crowd control. The account describes how she and a friend were invited by a small group of young people to continue the evening outdoors. She trusted the situation because the person who invited her had presented himself as a companion she could rely on, and the promise of a safer, more private setting led her to follow him. A member of the Civil Guard, who at the time was on duty nearby, was observed walking toward the area shortly before the alleged assault. This individual’s exact role is currently a focus of the ongoing investigation. (Source: National Police)
The young woman states that after they arrived at the designated spot, they were directed to the rear of a van where one of the individuals restrained her movements. It is alleged that she was subjected to sexual assault by one or more of the men, with acts described as rape, carried out in a sequence that involved multiple perpetrators. The case is being treated as a serious sexual violence incident, and the authorities are coordinating with forensic and medical services to document the injuries and collect evidence.

Medical findings and witness statements
Medical examinations conducted at a Valencia hospital confirmed that the victim had experienced rape. The assault is described as involving several participants, with the possibility that additional individuals may have been involved or aware of events given their proximity to the scene and the vehicle used during the incident. The police are considering all angles as part of the inquiry and have not ruled out the involvement of others who may have traveled in the same vehicle. (Source: National Police)
The survivor sought help from a passerby after the attack, who lent their phone to facilitate contact with a friend or family member. This contact ultimately led to the victim being transported to a local hospital with the support of a family member. The initial medical evaluation documented injuries consistent with sexual assault, and matched the victim’s reported experience. (Source: National Police)
Police efforts to identify those responsible
Officials have stated that no arrests have yet been made as the investigation continues. The Government Delegate of the Valencian Community, Pilar Bernabé, indicated that authorities are actively pursuing all leads to identify and arrest the perpetrators. Law enforcement personnel are reviewing surveillance footage from the nightclub and surrounding areas, as well as vehicle tracking data, to reconstruct the sequence of events and locate the individuals involved.

The inquiry also considers whether the attack was captured on any form of recording, given the victim’s memory of possible flash effects from her phone during the incident. Investigators are cross-checking this information against available CCTV and other digital evidence to determine if there is a traceable record of the events. (Source: National Police)
