A Case of Sexual Violence in Lleida Court
The Lleida Court has been the scene of a case of sexual violence that has impacted the community. In this case, a resident of the Barcelona metropolitan area has admitted to having sexually assaulted two girls. The victims were forced to make images and videos of an erotic and pornographic nature, under threats of publication. In addition, one of the victims was raped in a hotel in Lleida. The defendant, who also possessed child pornography, has been sentenced to 18 years in prison to prevent the victims from testifying and reliving the traumatic events.
The Modus Operandi of the Accused
The events date back to October 2021, when the accused contacted the victims through WhatsApp and social networks. He requested images of erotic and pornographic content in exchange for financial remuneration. Once he obtained the graphic material, he threatened the victims to publish it if they did not accede to his requests, such as inserting objects through their vaginas or staying with him. Thus, he managed to stay with one of the girls in a hotel in Lleida, where he committed the rape. The father of one of the victims discovered the facts and accompanied his daughter to report the incident to the police.
The Investigation and the Consequences
The Mossos d’Esquadra analyzed the defendant’s cell phone and discovered more than 1,400 videos, including 11 of the victims and 587 files of child pornography. Through this analysis, they were able to identify and contact other victims who did not want to report to avoid reliving the traumatic events. The accused has been sentenced to 18 years in prison and is asked to compensate the two victims with 60,000 and 20,000 euros respectively. It should be noted that the accused has collaborated in the investigation and has confessed to the facts.
The Profile of the Accused
The defendant has a diagnosis of borderline intelligence and ADHD disorder, which causes him to act impulsively. In addition, he suffers from episodes of compulsive masturbation, which affects his ability to understand the consequences of his actions. During the trial, the defendant apologized to the victims and expressed his desire not to repeat these behaviors.
