The Civil Guard intervened in Valencia following allegations against a man described as a restricting, controlling partner who has been accused of multiple violent acts. The individual, who had been in a relationship with a young woman, exercised strict control over her and reportedly threatened to harm her if she spent time with others. The statements suggest that the threats intensified after a gun was shown, with the warning that there would be severe consequences if the situation changed. At the time of the events, the victim was a teenager who had just reached the end of her adolescence. The accusations began to surface when the young woman, now in therapy, began to articulate the distress she had carried for years. She indicated that fear and silence had kept her from speaking out sooner. Support from a mental health professional helped her to report the events to the Civil Guard within the same week they were discussed in therapy, marking a crucial step in seeking accountability for the alleged abuse.
Threats and sexual assaults
The victim described three separate sexual assaults that occurred between December 2022 and January 2023. In one of these incidents, the assailant allegedly produced a firearm and warned that he would kill her if she did not submit to his sexual demands. She recalled the specific threat, saying that if she dated someone else, both she and the other person would be killed. The victim recalls the gun as heavy, though she is unsure whether the weapon was real or simulated. Regardless, the intimidation left a lasting impression of danger.
The allegations also include an attempt to strangle her using a technique aimed at the doorway of a garage and an incident in which a glass of alcohol was thrown toward her. The sequence of events reflects a pattern of coercive control driven by jealousy and a possessive, gendered attitude toward women.
Isolation and social media control
The complainant details how the former partner isolated her from friends and family, confiscated or deleted photos, and monitored her appearance and choices. He reportedly demanded removal of any photo or post he did not approve of, and he insisted that she distance herself from her social circle. The behavior described aligns with a broader pattern seen in abusive relationships, in which control extends to social connections, personal appearance, and everyday interactions, regardless of the perpetrator’s age.
The case, as described by the parties involved, has raised concerns about the severity of the incidents and the impact on the victim. Given the seriousness of the allegations, the Valencia A Department of Juvenile Justice and the Prosecutor’s Office requested that the minor involved be kept in a secure, closed environment to ensure safety during the ongoing legal process. The decision was announced as part of the proceedings at the Juvenile Court, reflecting the gravity of the charges, which include multiple counts of sexual assault, a notable number of injuries, and ongoing violent conduct against women.
The disclosures were made at the secondary education institution where the victim studies, and during therapeutic sessions, the victim described the long-standing pain she had carried in silence. The therapy and subsequent reporting played a pivotal role in bringing the events to light, highlighting the importance of support systems in helping survivors come forward.
All of these details emerged in the context of a formal investigation and are documented in the statements provided to law enforcement. The case continues to unfold, with authorities focusing on the safety and well-being of the victim while pursuing legal accountability for the alleged aggressor. [Source: Valencia Court records]
