The person involved is 43 years old and was sentenced to a lengthy prison term, a punishment upheld by higher courts in Murcia after an initial conviction. The individual faced charges related to sexual offenses against his daughter, starting when the child was 12 years old. The case centered on repeated assaults carried out while the victim was under the family’s care during various periods, including travel opportunities that placed the child in vulnerable situations.
According to the proven facts in the record, the responsibility lay with the parent while the other parent, the child’s mother, was away in Ecuador. The man, employed as a truck driver, used his work-related travel to place the minor in situations where abuse occurred during the first summer he accompanied her on international shipments, specifically to destinations such as Holland, involving roughly a two-week round trip.
During one overnight moment in the cab where the forest of bunks provided a private space, the individual allegedly assaulted the child. The victim later reported that the events were explained away by the fear and power imbalance present at the time. The record indicates that additional abuse occurred both during the journey and upon returning home, with the court noting the child was made to feel she could not resist without risking further harm.
The family history notes that when the child returned from a trip, the mother was away at work, using the opportunity to be with the child in a way that allegedly exceeded appropriate boundaries during those evenings. The mother eventually learned of the situation and alerted authorities.
tells his mother
On a subsequent night, about a year after the first alleged incident, the child woke to a frightening scenario and sought help by contacting her mother to report the events. The mother reported the husband, leading to his arrest and subsequent detention.
Altogether, the court concluded a long period of sexual abuse against the daughter and ordered a prison sentence of about fourteen and a half years. The offender was also ordered to provide compensation to the victim, totaling a reported 60,000 euros. The sentence included explicit warnings about the ongoing risk to the child and the necessity of safeguarding measures to prevent further harm. An objection raised by the defendant was dismissed by the court, affirming the verdict.
physical and emotional consequences
When the victim disclosed the abuse to her mother, an examination was conducted at a hospital, which revealed physical injuries. Forensic psychology assessments highlighted significant emotional and psychological impacts, including anxiety and depressive symptoms, intrusive thoughts, and substantial disruption to daily functioning and social life. The effects described illustrate the lasting toll such abuse can inflict on a young person.
