Catalina's (a pseudonym) hands move across the table as if it were a piano. Sometimes her fingers drum; other times they hang still in the air, searching for keys that don't exist. "It helps me calm down," she says before beginning her story, which follows. She learned to play the instrument when she was a child. Since then, mentally tracing staircases or imagining music helps her to organize her inner turmoil. Even now, as she awaits a trial she never thought she would have to face.

The First Section of the Provincial Court of Palma has sentenced the former parish priest of Can Picafort, Pere Barceló, to two years and one day in prison for sexually abusing a minor who was between six and seven years old at the time. According to the High Court of Justice of the Balearic Islands (TSJIB), the judges also issued a restraining order of 500 meters and a five-and-a-half-year ban on contact with the victim. In addition, the Palma Court ordered him to pay €15,000 in compensation and ordered the Diocese of Mallorca to be held subsidiarily liable in the event of the former rector's insolvency.
