The Valencia Regional Court, Division Two, has ordered the initiation of enforcement procedures following a verdict that confirms the conviction of the ex-husband of Mónica Oltra, the former vice president of the Generalitat. The outcome establishes that the individual was found guilty of sexually abusing a minor who was in custody, a finding that carries significant implications for custodial measures and ongoing public interest.

The court requires Luis Ramírez to present at the clerk’s office on the designated date to complete admission procedures to the prison, adhering to the sentence handed down in the most recent ruling. The scheduled time remains Tuesday at 10:00 a.m., and the court warns that failure to appear will trigger a warrant for search, capture, and immediate admission to prison. This procedural reminder underscores the seriousness with which enforcement orders are treated within the Spanish judicial system. [Source: Valencian Court attribution]

On December 14, the Supreme Court issued confirmation of Ramírez’s five-year prison sentence for the sexual abuse of a 16-year-old boy who was under the protection of the Generalitat while employed as a monitor. The Supreme Court’s endorsement anchors the sentence within the higher echelon of Spain’s judiciary, reinforcing the gravity of the offense and ensuring the sentence’s finality. The Valencian Court subsequently declared this sentence final and requested its execution, triggering the formal processes that translate judicial decisions into real-world confinement.

In tandem with the sentence, the court ordered the initiation of the execution phase, detailing prohibitions and conduct requirements for the convict. The individual is forbidden from approaching the victim, the victim’s home, or any location frequented by the victim. Communication with the victim is restricted and may only occur through formal channels or, if necessary, through third parties, for a period of ten years. Non-compliance carries the risk of additional criminal charges, reinforcing the enforceability of the protective measures accompanying the sentence. [Source: Valencian Court attribution]

Additionally, the court specifies a ten-year disqualification from any profession or trade that involves direct contact with minors. This provision aims to minimize the risk of future offenses by limiting the convict’s ability to engage in roles where vulnerable minors are present, thereby aligning with public safety objectives and the rights of victims. The combined terms—custody, communication restrictions, and professional disqualification—reflect a comprehensive approach to enforcement that balances accountability with protective measures for the wider community.
