a birthday party in a small town left a lasting mark on a young girl. The event is described as a moment when the accused, a man connected to the NAAV, was alleged to have behaved inappropriately toward a minor, an act that has since led to a high-stakes trial. The girl later disclosed the intimate image found on her phone to her mother, and this prompted further investigation. The defendant, who denies the charges, faces a potential prison sentence of 35 years as the case proceeds in the Provincial Court of Zaragoza.
the incident is said to have occurred on August 29, 2019. According to the complaint, the accused invited the victim to his home under the pretense of a birthday gathering. While there, he allegedly placed a hand under a blanket and touched the girl’s genitals. It is claimed that he then photographed the action with a Samsung camera, asking at one point, “Did you like it?” The girl later stated that the defendant encouraged her to perform oral sex. She initially refused, but a struggle ensued in which she claimed to have been forced to comply. She eventually fled to the bathroom, locking the door to draw the attention of the defendant’s partner, who was in the home at the time. This ally reportedly helped the girl regain a sense of safety.
The case also involves the distribution of images. The girl alleged that the defendant shared photos taken under the blanket with her, and that he sent additional pictures showing an erect penis along with messages urging her to send nude photos and to masturbate. During the hearing, authorities stated that the defendant’s mobile phone contained the alleged images and messages, and investigators were able to corroborate elements of the girl’s account by examining tattoos, a distinctive mark on the left hand, and details describing the room where the photographs were made. Witnesses testified that the defendant sought pictures of the girl engaging in masturbation as part of the communications dated September 8. These testimonies were presented to the court as part of the ongoing proceedings.
the minor’s account traces back to her first visit to the NAAV residence, which coincided with the birthday party that had brought her and her family to the home. Early on, she wrote in a tablet that she felt admiration and affection for the people she met there, noting that she found them friendly and approachable. Following this initial contact, the family agreed to return to the home for the August 29 gathering, a decision that would ultimately place the girl in a more vulnerable position. The events unfolded over the subsequent weeks, with the girl recalling the atmosphere at the time and the sensitive dynamics involved.
the mother reported the initial concerns after the first meeting, and the family agreed to participate again on that late-summer date. It was not until September 15 that the girl disclosed the full extent of what had happened. In her statement, she described feeling scared and very young, and she explained that the defendant had asked for more explicit images. When the mother listened to the account, she decided to file a formal complaint and sought assistance from the Civil Guard in Tarazona. This decision was influenced by the defendant’s supposed attempts to present himself as cooperative with authorities, a characterization the family rejected as inconsistent with the events described by the girl and later confirmed by investigative footage. The case remains under judicial examination, with authorities continuing to gather evidence and evaluate the testimonies of those involved. [Source: Civil Guard records, Tarazona]
