He, between 3 and 13 years old, friends of his children, should have been held almost a year ago, but a medical decline of his lawyer postponed him until Wednesday, when he will have been fulfilled between five and seven years of the events that are charged to him, which occurred between 2018 and 2020. El Tobaas this pedophile is popularly known that is in prison for a previous violation of another minor, he was the owner of a fruit shop in the Madrid town of Valdeavero (1,800 inhabitants), where he presumably assaulted the children.
“He took advantage of the friendship of one of his children with those boys whom he used to greet them touching the genitals over their clothes. Then, when they went to the fruit or their house with their children, he did it below the clothes,” defends the prosecution, who asks for 98 years in prison. There is no record that their children had knowledge of their father’s behavior. The children used to play football in the same town square, where the fruit shop was located, where children used to look for their friends.
The Public Ministry charges five continuous crimes of under 16 years of age with violence or intimidation (and asks for ten years for each), three continued crimes of sexual abuse over less than 16 years (six years for each one) and two continued crimes of sexual aggression over less than 16 years with carnal access committed with violence or intimidation (15 years).
Deprived of freedom
The defendant has been deprived of freedom for this cause from December 16, 2020 until October 18, 2021, with the prohibition of entering and residing in Valdeavero and approaching less than 500 meters from the minors. In addition, in civil liability, the Prosecutor’s Office claims 154,000 euros for these ten minors.
As planned in the oral hearing frustrated almost a year ago, the trial will be extended predictably over three days in which the statement of the accused and the minors can be heard, subject to strong psychological pressure to face these painful memories. In this case, the Judge of Instruction did not accept that pre -constituted evidence was practiced, that is, an interrogation prior to oral hearing for specially vulnerable victims – such as children -, in a more pleasant environment than a court and accompanied by a psychologist. This will be predictably the only time the minors declare throughout the process, to avoid revictimization with successive interrogations.
