The Santa Cruz de Tenerife Prosecutor’s Office requests a sentence of 31 years in prison for a young man for sexually assaulting his two nieces, when they were under 13 years old, and showing them pornographic videos in the municipality of Los Realejos.
The summary, collected by Europa Press, indicates that the events began when the accused was a minor and took advantage of the fact that he lived with his mother in a house next to that of his sister and his nieces, so he took advantage of the fact that on many occasions minors were left in the care of their grandmother.
With one of the nieces, the attacks were committed mainly on weekends, even with the opposition of the minor, to the point that sometimes he dragged her to his room, bit her, pinched her or pulled her hair.
Furthermore, he told her that she had to obey him “at all times” and scolded him, saying that if the penetrations hurt, it was her fault.
Likewise, when the attack ended, he ordered her to clean herself and wash herself well because if anyone found out what had happened “they would rape her harder and she would know what real pain is.”
During the attacks, the accused also uttered expressions such as “you have an ugly, horrible, shitty body, I’m doing you a favor because no one is going to love you with your body” and warned her that if she said anything “they would kill her.” disown her and leave her alone and they were going to blame her for what happened.”
As a result of the continuous sexual assaults, the minor left the house when she observed her uncle approaching in a “desperate attempt” to flee, the Prosecutor’s Office highlights.
For this reason, the young man began to sexually assault his other niece, at least twice a week, with the pretext of going to play together in her room and telling her that he had to agree to her wishes because his sister “already did it” and If I did not follow him “it would be worse.”
The sexual assaults continued until the young man moved to live on the Peninsula.
As a result of these events, the eldest niece suffers from symptoms consistent with a major depressive disorder and a stress disorder. The youngest, anxiety crisis and problems in her relationship.
When both reached the age of majority, they filed a complaint, details the Prosecutor’s Office, which considers that the facts constitute two alleged continuous crimes of sexual assault on a minor under 13 years of age and exhibition of pornographic material to minors. It also requests the prohibition of communicating with the victims or getting closer than 500 meters, the disqualification from any profession related to minors for six years and the payment of 25,000 euros in compensation for each victim, plus an additional 3,000 euros for the eldest. psychological damage, and the expenses derived from medical and pharmaceutical treatments.
