Man arrested in Palma for sexually assaulting his three-year-old brother and transmitting a venereal disease to him
The National Police arrested the young man, 20 years old, after the minor reported the alleged abuses at the nursery school and doctors detected a sexually transmitted disease in him
PalmaThe National Police has arrested a 20-year-old youth in Palma accused of allegedly sexually assaulting his three-year-old brother and infecting him with a venereal disease.
According to sources close to the case confirmed to Europa Press and advanced by Última Hora, the arrest took place approximately two weeks ago after the minor's father, separated from the mother, filed a complaint.
The investigation began following statements the child allegedly made at the nursery school about the alleged abuse and mistreatment he was suffering. These revelations prompted the first actions to clarify the reported facts.
In parallel, the minor was attended at a hospital, where doctors detected a sexually transmitted disease. This circumstance also forms part of the investigations opened by the researchers.
Coordinated intervention
The young man was arrested as the alleged perpetrator of the crimes of mistreatment and sexual assault of a minor. The investigation remains open and is under judicial supervision.
Cases of alleged sexual violence against children usually require coordinated intervention from the educational, health, police, and judicial fields. Child protection experts point out that early detection is crucial for identifying possible risk situations and activating the necessary protection mechanisms.
In the Balearic Islands, educational and health centers have specific protocols to report any suspicion of child abuse or sexual abuse to the competent services. These tools aim to ensure prompt action and protect minors in the face of any indication of violation of their rights.
