Two men, born in La Alberca and Murcia respectively, were involved in sexual abuse against a girl in the same summer at two different pools in Murcia. The victim was thirteen years old at the time. When the abuse occurred, she did not report it until she was fifteen, at which point she and her mother told a judge what had happened. This information comes from the court documents detailing the case.

One of the defendants is 63 years old and the other is 28. Neither had a prior criminal record. In the Murcia County Court, both defendants acknowledged their conduct. They admitted that they had touched the girl inappropriately.

The first incident happened during the summer at a communal pool in the building where one of the defendants lived. The girl had gone to the pool because a family friend invited her, and the incident involved the defendant taking advantage of teenagers and children playing nearby. The court noted that the act involved touching the girl on the body while she was in the pool area. The girl has since kept her distance from the man to avoid his proximity.

During that same summer, the girl also visited a neighbor’s home to bathe in an inflatable pool. On this occasion, another defendant entered the pool area under the pretense of a game and touched the girl inappropriately while she was in the water. The incident was observed by others who later testified in the proceedings, and the court described the event in terms consistent with sexual abuse.

The trial concluded with a definitive sentence from the Murcia County Court. Each defendant was sentenced to two years in prison for the offense of sexual abuse. They were also ordered to stay at least 100 meters away from the victims for three years and to pay compensation of 1,200 euros to each of the victims. Additionally, they were placed under a five-year regime of supervised freedom.

However, the sentences are suspended for three years, contingent on the defendants not committing any new crimes during that period and on meeting the financial obligations imposed within the specified timeframe. The court’s judgment provides that the suspensions remain in effect provided these conditions are met. The outcome reflects the legal framework for handling such offenses in the region.

In summary, the proceedings resulted in prison terms, proximity restrictions, financial compensation, and a supervised freedom period, with suspensions conditioned on future conduct and compliance. The case illustrates how the judicial system addresses crimes involving minors and the measures that accompany sentences to protect victims and deter repeat offenses. The details of the ruling are drawn from official court records and the accompanying legal documentation.
