Candela Acevedo explains in 'On Friday!' Why she did not initially denounce Antonio Tejado: "I was afraid"

Antonio Tejado has become one of the main protagonists of current social events in Spain, and for multiple reasons. The former collaborator of different television programs was arrested after learning of his involvement in the robbery of María del Monte's mansion last August. However, this only led to the discovery of another even more uncomfortable situation: a sentence of seven months in prison.

This resolution occurred after having sent pornographic material of various kinds featuring his then partner, Candela Acevedo, without her consent. The television presenter uncovered the unpleasant situations that she experienced during her relationship with the detainee, ensuring that she had mental lapses around those videos. However, although she had a firm condemnation, she did not publicly denounce these events.

Acevedo, who has attended the program ¡De friday! To tell his story in the midst of all the media storm over the robbery, he claims to have been afraid of Tejado, feeling that the mere fact of seeing or hearing him generated an indescribable feeling of panic. A fact that the program wanted to comment on as constant in similar cases of gender violence, where non-reporting occurs due to fear of the consequences.

“I don't feel capable. I'm afraid, I'm terrified, I think he might do something bad to me. That's how I feel. So, I am not qualified to report it out of fear. You prefer to be there, suffering what you are suffering so as not to wait for something worse to happen to you,” the Sevillian woman expressed when asked by José Antonio León. Some statements that add to all the panic expressed in recent days.

“They are very harsh statements because they also shed light on something that we did not know had happened. They reached an agreement, they had a trial, they agreed, but in reality he recorded it and broadcast that video. She draws attention because she tells us that there were nights when she lost consciousness when she was with Antonio. She doesn't know why she is she but she tells us that many nights she didn't know how she had fallen asleep... ", expressed Luis Pliego, director of Lecturas, about her exclusive.

“Maybe jail is good for him to reflect. I have felt humiliated and mistreated. For me it is hell every time I meet him in Seville. I don't know if he is guilty. I know where it is and I think it's good there so as not to hurt more people. He harasses me late at night. I reported him twice, I wanted to put him in jail. “This man has made me experience a horror movie,” Acevedo also commented in the program.
