In the Pamplona region, police arrested a man on suspicion of sexual assault after a woman reported being attacked during a possible drug or chemical incident while out in a town near Pamplona. The suspect was detained by authorities and later brought before the justice system. He has been released with a restraining order and a prohibition on contacting the complainant as part of the precautionary measures.
According to a police statement, the events reportedly occurred over the weekend of February 17 while the victim was taking a walk in the area with companions. The complainant recalled feeling fear, experiencing moments of uncertainty, and recognizing distressing details, yet finding it difficult to describe the exact sequence of events at the time. The incident prompted an immediate response from law enforcement and social services, aiming to ensure the victim’s safety and access to support resources.
Following the complaint, the Citizens’ Attention Office activated the sexual assault protocol and the victim was transported to Navarra University Hospital for medical evaluation and care. Investigators worked to gather evidence, secure the scene, and identify potential witnesses to reconstruct the sequence of events. The investigation ultimately led to the apprehension of a 30-year-old man in collaboration with the Foral Police in a town near Pamplona.
The individual was presented before Education Court No. 5 in Pamplona on the following Monday and was then released under conditions that include a 150-meter restraining order and a prohibition on any form of communication with the complainant. Forensic authorities continue to support the case as more information becomes available and the investigation progresses.
