The Provincial Court of Salamanca to its granddaughters during the childhood and adolescence of these. The man, taking advantage of family trust, subjected them to touching since they were between eight and nine to 14 and 15. The convicted used excuses such as the victims, premiums with each other, had “a lump in the chest” and took the opportunity to hand them with sexual desire. The girls took years to confess it for fear of breaking the family unit and when they began to admit the grandmother told them “how the grandfather was going to do that.” Both have suffered serious complex posttraumatic stress; One of them, because of the disorders, cuts were made in the arms.
The judge has sentenced the individual with 12 and a half years in prison for each of the granddaughters. The premiums were born in 2002 and 2003, and between 2011 and 2017 one of them used to spend the night at the home of the grandparents – both on weekends as when he went to equestrian classes that man paid him. As he said in the trial and was considered proven, when he sat in the lap of the adult to watch television, being alone with him, “he touched him in the back, arms and different parts of the body, putting his hand under the shirt until he touched both breasts with the apology that he had a lump in one of them.” This happened on multiple occasions to check if that lump grew. The then girl also narrated how often “the defendant also put his hand below his underwear, touching the genital area, getting to introduce two fingers into the vagina without knowing how to react.” The touching ceased when I was 15 years old.
The other cousin also went to that house on Saturdays and Sundays and even lived with the grandparents for a few months because her mother moved to Madrid. To her, the condemned also sat her on her knees and “taking advantage of the grandmother’s exits, touched her back and above, reaching her breasts with the apology to check if the bulge had grown, which, like her cousin she also had in one of them, also touching the genital area, on occasion to introduce her fingers in the vagina.”
The girl reported that on some occasion the aggressor looked at her showering or that once she knocked on her in the bed and approaching her pants and underpants and took her hand, putting her on her penis, moving her from top to bottom until she squeezed her strong and the defendant left the caravan. ” The statement has references to “screw kisses” and that this victim made cuts when the grandfather sexually assaulted her. The child tried to hide the brands with a tattoo that she has in her arm.
Those of the facts for fear of altering family functioning, until one of them went to a therapist, told him what happened and the professional recommended that he speak with his relatives. However, in a first contact, the mother did not believe it and the grandmother considered incredible that her husband could maintain those attitudes with the granddaughters. One day, one confessed to the other those touches of the grandfather and his cousin let her know that she had also suffered them. Then they went back to the mother of one of them and, when the woman knew that both referred to the same, denounced. The experts: due to the emotional relationship or for the fear of breaking the “family unit”, as seen in this case.
The two victims suffer “serious complex posttraumatic stress” following these aggressions, in addition to the self -collons inflicted by one of them. The individual, in addition to the 25 years of deprivation of liberty, has been sentenced to pay compensation of 15,000 euros to each of his granddaughters. Thus, he will return to jail, where he was already in 2023 in provisional prison when he was denounced; The victims at that time were already of legal age.
