Grandfather from Alicante jailed for abusing his 9-year-old granddaughter

The Third Section of the Provincial Court of Alicante has sentenced the defendant to four years and three months in prison for the crime of sexual abuse of a minor, for which it recognises the mitigating circumstance of undue delays.
The court also ordered him to pay 15,000 euros to the victim for moral damages and the impact the abuse had on her psychological development. The convicted man will not be permitted to come within 500 meters of the girl or communicate with her in any way for nine years.
The incident happened on the evening of April 16th, 2020, when the girl slept overnight at her grandfather’s home in Alicante, which also housed her mother and a 13-year-old cousin. The sentence claims that the children slept in the shared bed together that night by taking advantage of the grandmother’s absence.
The condemned man once came into the room early in the morning, checked to make sure the little girl was asleep, then scooped her up and carried her to the bed where he was resting, stroking her intimate areas. The victim told the man what had happened after the girl woke up and told him she didn’t enjoy what he was doing to her. He then put her back in the bed with her cousin.
According to the Valencian High Court, the decision is not final and may be challenged by the High Court of Justice of the Valencian Community’s Civil and Criminal Division (TSJCV).

Zombie Survival comes to Orihuela

The ‘Survival zombie’ challenge, an interactive event set in several streets, will be held for the first time in Orihuela. Participants will be immersed in a post-apocalyptic narrative that is full of intrigue, action, and difficulties. “Orihuela will become, for one night, the scene of a survival story,” remarks Youth Councillor Anabel García. This event is scheduled for Saturday March 22nd and has been a huge success in a number of Spanish cities. Participants will receive preliminary instructions and the required materials to start the game at the Gabriel Miró roundabout at 10 p.m. As the game progresses, players will have to find the remaining sites by completing tasks and tests at various spots throughout the city. Fifty performers will work together to create the story and portray characters that will engage with the gamers along the way. The participants will feel as though they are in a horror film thanks to these actors’ superb character development.
With the help of the City Council, admission is 16.50 euros, with a 50% discount for those who are registered in Orihuela. Participants must show identification at the La Lonja auditorium in order to check in and obtain the required materials. You can register on the survivalzombie.es website right now.
Young folks 14 years of age and up are the target audience. It is advised that adults accompany minors to the event. It’s also crucial to remember that in order to register on their own, people must be of legal age. This event is being arranged for the first time, and the councillor encourages young people to take part in order “to experience the city in a different way and immerse themselves in an adventure of fun and strategy.”
