Without "sufficient evidence" to accuse the monitors of a Vallirana school of sexual assaults

The Mossos d'Esquadra have not found "sufficient evidence" to incriminate the alleged sexual abuse by two monitors of two minors at the L'Olivera school in Vallirana (Barcelona), as the families had reported. Last weekend, two families reported two cafeteria monitors at this school for alleged sexual abuse.

Sources from the Mossos d'Esquadra point out that the minor unit investigating the case has not found "sufficient evidence" to incriminate these alleged sexual abuses, although they are keeping the investigation open by taking statements from people.

Given this lack of "sufficient evidence" of incrimination, the Mossos will submit the file to the judge so that he can decide whether to file the case or keep the investigation open with new proceedings. Sources close to the investigation have informed EFE that one of the complaining mothers has a history of fraud.

Specifically, the mothers of three children who have allegedly suffered abuse warned on Wednesday afternoon that, although there are only two complaints, "there are many more cases" that will be formalized in the coming days.

In statements to EFE, the three mothers explained that all the affected children, who are around three years old, report the same events, pointing out the same dining room monitors, who subjected them to forced touching, masking it as "games."

"On Monday I have to go to the City of Justice to file a complaint," confirmed the mother of one of the affected children, Sara Barbado. "Almost everyone stays in the dining room, there are not even four or five, with almost all the children in the class. (…) This happened because a mother realized it, if not, I don't know what would have happened," she added. .

The woman was alerted by another mother that abuse was allegedly being committed in the school cafeteria: that is when she learned that her son was also being touched on his legs and genitals. The first mother who noticed the abuse, who prefers to remain anonymous, said that she learned of the first signs last week and, investigating day by day, in the end her daughter explained that the dining room monitors were playing sexual games with touching.

"When I reported what happened to my daughter, more mothers began to come out who didn't agree with what they saw, and they gave information to their children. All the children pointed out the same monitor. We are waiting for more complaints, there are many more cases of affected children," that mother warned.

"The more complaints there are, the faster things will go. It may take a few months until the trial comes," a third mother, who also wanted to maintain her anonymity, told EFE.

All of them have agreed that their children tell the same story, of how the dining room monitors allegedly used the pretext of games to touch them with creams, even causing cracks or blood in the private parts of the minors, who are barely three. years.

The school, when it learned of the complaints, already activated the protocols and immediately removed the two designated monitors, and the Department of Education has asked the company that manages the center's dining room to reorganize its staff.
