The attacks ceased four years ago and the delay in the complaint would respond to the fear of the woman, who dared to take the step once the separation procedures had begun.
The Court of Instruction number 4 of Vitoria and the Local Police investigate a resident of the Alava capital suspected of having systematically sexually assaulted his two daughters. According to the complaint filed by his ex-partner and mother of the little girls, the alleged attacks began at the beginning of the last decade and stopped about four years ago. The delay in going to the authorities would respond to the fear of this woman, who only took this step a few days ago once the separation procedures had begun.
As this newspaper has learned from police and judicial sources, this woman appeared last week at the Aguirrelanda police station to request protection. The statement was not one of the minutes that opened in the judicial police area. Her story to the agents on duty set off all the alarms in the Urban Guard, with the subsequent entry on the scene of the Investigation group.
This statement pointed to an ordeal in silence sustained over “about seven years.” Apparently, and always according to this version now under study, all the attacks took place in the shelter of the home where the whole family lived. That is, without external witnesses. In fact, there was a reference to a small room of horrors where the now suspect allegedly locked himself in with his daughters to watch pornography and sexually assault them. The harassment would have been reproduced in other rooms of the house, located in a neighborhood of the Alava capital.
Proclaim your innocence
The age of the victims – they are still minors – and the divorce process in which the two adults are immersed led the investigators to take extreme precautions with this case, still in an embryonic phase. On Friday they arrested this man, who denied at all times any sexual assault.
A day later the house under suspicion was searched. In it, local police officers found the prefabricated room. It is a handcrafted construction based on plasterboard planks and whose size barely occupies about three square meters.
On one of the walls of this studio there were several sockets, supposed to connect portable devices such as a computer. And most importantly, a lock on the inside to be able to lock yourself in. During the inspection of the flat, other evidence was collected that will be analyzed.
Restraining order
The alleged attacks on the two minors started when they were around “five years old”. The little ones are a year apart. Given the time that has elapsed since the end of the events, now under the judicial and police magnifying glass, the protocol will give maximum importance to the Comprehensive Forensic Assessment Unit, whose experts will interview victims and the investigated.
In parallel, and given the low risk of flight, the Investigating Court 4 imposed a restraining order and communication with the victims on this middle-aged man while the investigation progresses. During that time, he must appear periodically at the Palace of Justice on Avenida de Gasteiz.
