The National Police have arrested the father, uncle and another relative of a minor for allegedly forcing her to record herself to exonerate the first two of having sexually abused her in Palma, facts for which, last year, the first was convicted. to 11 years in prison and the second, to five. During the trial, both accused the eight-year-old girl of making it all up and of “always telling stories.”
The two men have now been arrested as alleged perpetrators of a crime of breaking a sentence by violating a restraining order and communicating with the girl, while the woman has been arrested as the alleged perpetrator of a crime of inducing abandonment of a minor and coercion. .
The investigations were launched following a complaint filed by the victim in which she recounted the events, which caused the judicial authority and the Public Prosecutor’s Office to order an investigation into what happened. The Family and Women Care Unit (UFAM) of the National Police began the investigations aimed at clarifying the facts.
The investigators found out that the events are related to the arrest, several years ago, of two relatives of the minor as alleged perpetrators of a crime of sexual abuse of the minor. Both were sentenced to a total of 16 years in prison as well as the prohibition of communicating or approaching her.
The agents learned that for several months, a woman familiar with the minor had forced meetings with her in different places, both on public roads and after school and in leisure places, in order to influence her to to record himself saying that the facts reported against the two relatives were not true and thus ensure that they did not go to prison.
Likewise, the woman urged the minor to speak ill of the center where she was sheltered and to say that she wanted to be with her family, encouraging her to run away.
One of the men, who according to investigators, had contacted the minor directly and also through the victim’s aunt, was seen in a vehicle next to the center. The other family member was also seen near the facilities and would have communicated indirectly with the minor.
The girl was affected by the harassment she suffered and, due to the pressure she was subjected to, she finally recorded herself saying that everything she had said related to the abuse was a lie and that she wanted to be with her family since she was not well. in the center.
As a result of the investigations, the agents arrested the three relatives this Friday, November 8, and the alleged perpetrators were brought to justice. The investigators also charged a woman close to the family from whom they took a statement as the alleged perpetrator of a crime of coercion, supposedly for insisting the minor lie and record an audio denying the abuse.
