Police sources report that a minor under twelve experienced sexual violence, and another girl of the same age was assaulted in an abandoned dwelling in Burjassot, near Godella in Valencia. For the moment, no arrests have been made because investigators say the two victims did not know their accuser and were simply talking when the incident occurred. The two were connected through Instagram and the persons involved were strangers to them prior to this event.
According to information shared by Upgrade-EMV, a news outlet within the same publishing group, Prensa Ibérica, the events came to light thanks to a third friend of the girls who reported activity via the same app while the situation was unfolding. This prompted the victims’ families to contact the National Police right away.
This emergency response involves not only the national authorities but also local police from Goddess, Burjassot, and Rocafort, who are actively coordinating to locate the underage victims. The girls had indicated they did not know where they were taken and did not reside in the area, meaning they had traveled from different towns near the l’Horta Nord region.
trace progress
Law enforcement officers tracked the case for several hours, visiting abandoned sites and buildings across the three municipalities mentioned, but with little to guide them beyond the information that the victims had been inside a dilapidated building adjacent to a metro stop, without additional specifics.
In the end, a tip exchange between the girls helped police locate the two younger people around eleven o’clock at night. One had returned home, while the other was on her way to her own residence when discovered.
Initial reactions included attempts to classify the incident as a joke or a cry for help; however, the guardians of one of the youths chose to take her to the hospital, where medical staff documented signs consistent with sexual assault. A formal complaint was then filed with the appropriate authorities.
UFAM investigators report that both adults had met the two teens at some point via the aforementioned app, between the municipalities of Godella and Burjassot. Each girl had left her home town, and early police inquiries indicate that one young man attempted to engage in sexual activity but faced resistance from one of the teens. The adult involved is alleged to have used force during the encounter, according to initial statements.
The abandoned house
Following the events, the group around the original participants reportedly joined two more peers, friends of the involved parties, and the situation escalated into a group assault when the other girl managed to escape and alert someone nearby.
As soon as authorities realized the gravity of the matter, the National Police intensified its inquiry to identify any additional suspects who may be linked to the alleged sexual offense. The search continues with a broader review of movements and contacts associated with the case.
Investigators spoke with the two teenagers to collect formal statements while working to corroborate the information given. They have located the place where the alleged incident occurred and are compiling data to establish a clearer timeline and identify all participants. The objective remains to secure the victims’ safety and advance the investigation accordingly, with findings shared through the appropriate channels.
UFAM officials have directed public communications to include the protection and support provisions available for minors who are victims of sexual offenses. The Children’s Prosecutor’s Office and the protocols in place ensure that the affected youths receive the necessary assistance and monitoring as part of the case proceedings. This response aims to safeguard the victims’ wellbeing and uphold their rights as witnesses and victims in the ongoing investigation. Ownership of the case rests with the relevant authorities and child welfare services, who continue to coordinate every step of the process with sensitivity and care. Attribution: UFAM
