Agents of the National Police have arrested a minor on Monday as the alleged perpetrator of a sexual assault on a 15-year-old girl that occurred last weekend in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The detainee has been transferred to the cells of the National Police Station in Tres de Mayo, as Europa Press has learned.
The events occurred around 3:00 a.m. from Saturday to Sunday, when the Local Police received a notice announcing that in the parking area located on the road below Avenida de la Constitución, at the height of the old San Carlos barracks, there was a minor with obvious symptoms of alcohol poisoning and that she was disabled and lying on the ground. The alerters also stated that when they arrived there were two boys who fled from there.
The local police managed to contact two friends of the victim, ages 13 and 12, who said that they had gone to buy alcohol and that they went down to Santa Cruz on the tram, where they talked to two boys, one of them the alleged attacker. Upon arriving at the Interchange, they walked towards the Plaza de España and one of the boys tried to make a move on the victim, whom he ended up violating, and threatened her two friends, who left the place to seek help.
The Local Police carried out all the inquiries and took the information of the witnesses and the victim’s friends to determine the possible aggressor or aggressors. Likewise, the assaulted minor was transferred to the University Hospital of the Canary Islands (HUC) and her father was contacted, being in charge of the Family and Women’s Care Unit (UFAM) of the National Police and the forensic doctor.
