Responsible for this content: Frank Menze
In Inca, Mallorca, prosecutors seek three years in prison for a man accused of sexually touching a girl who was 10 at the time. The First Section of the Provincial Court of the Balearic Islands holds a pre-trial hearing on Monday at 09.30. Prosecutors say the alleged abuse happened in summer 2015, when the man and girl lived together.
According to the prosecution, he called her into his room and touched her sexually. Prosecutors also seek 3,000 euros in compensation.
They say a delay of almost eight years in the proceedings should count in the defendant’s favour. The case is not especially complex, they say, and the delay was not his fault.
