A young woman detained by local police authorities was released after a suspected case of kidnapping tied to an ex-boyfriend who has a history of legal trouble. Investigators indicate that the man allegedly confined her for about a week in a cottage set within the wooded area of Les Fonts, in the Terrassa municipality near Barcelona. While there, the victim appeared to have been subjected to sexual assault according to initial inquiries.
Members of the Mossos d’Esquadra told this publication that the victim was able to contact her mother via WhatsApp, prompting the mother to alert the authorities yesterday. Following the notice, a coordinated search operation was launched to locate the missing woman. The agencies reported that the release occurred roughly around 1 p.m. on Tuesday afternoon.

The alleged perpetrator is described as a 35-year-old man with a prior record for illegal detention, sexual assaults, threats, and injuries. He has a lengthy history with law enforcement, with dozens of prior arrests on various charges. The detainee is expected to appear before a court in the coming hours, as prosecutors prepare to file formal charges.
Police sources indicate the victim’s family played a crucial role in resolving the case. After receiving a call for help from the woman, the family supplied important details that aided the Mossos d’Esquadra in narrowing down the search. Les Fonts, the area where the events unfolded, comprises forested land and orchard property within Terrassa. The investigation team followed the information provided by the family to locate a cabin where both the victim and the suspect were found at the scene.
The woman who was found safe has since been transported to a hospital for a medical assessment and health check to ensure her well-being after the ordeal.
In the ongoing case, authorities continue to gather evidence and interview involved parties while preparing updates for public safety communications and official judicial proceedings. While the investigation unfolds, officials emphasize the community’s role in reporting suspicious activity and supporting victims of violent crime. The incident underscores the importance of rapid communication between family members and law enforcement in missing person cases and the protection of vulnerable individuals in potential danger.
Further details will be released by the appropriate authorities as the process advances and should be interpreted within the legal framework governing such cases. This report reflects initial information provided by law enforcement and corroborating sources, and all updates will be provided through official channels as they become available.
