The Prosecutor’s Office requests ten years in prison for a former teacher at the Colegio de la Salle Bonanova in Barcelona accused of repeatedly sexually assaulting a student since 2006 with whom he sought rapprochement from the beginning, to the point of starting a sentimental relationship with his mother to settle in your home.
In its indictment, the Prosecutor’s Office attributes to the defendant, Víctor P.G., a continued crime of sexual assault, for which it also requests a ban on approaching the victim within a thousand meters for another five years, probation for eight years and to compensate the minor with 20,000 euros for the moral damage caused, since he suffers from post-traumatic stress.
The events began in 2006, when the defendant met the minor, since he was his soccer coach, and from the beginning he showed a “certain interest” in him, which resulted in personal attention, protection and personal care, in a moment of vulnerability for the boy, because his parents were separating.
According to the Prosecutor’s Office, the defendant intensified his relationship with the minor in the following year, since in addition to being a coach he also served as a teacher at La Salle, at which time he convinced him that his biological father did not love him or care about him and He promised him that he would be his father, would take care of him and protect him, before which the boy felt “true passion” for the defendant and refused to see his father.
Once the child’s “emotional dependence” on the defendant was verified, he proposed to travel with him, which the mother accepted “astonished” although she made it a condition that she also travel.
After the trip, the defendant, “in execution of an elaborate plan”, according to the Prosecutor’s Office, began a sentimental relationship with the child’s mother, which allowed him to settle in September 2010 with them in Barcelona.
According to the Prosecutor’s Office, in execution of the plan “that he had been concocting for a long time”, the defendant proposed to the boy in 2010 that he be second coach of the Benjamin team, which he trained himself, from which he began to control all his activities, both academic and personal, restricted him from going out with his friends and isolated him from his schoolmates.
If the child refused to disobey his orders, the defendant would get angry and separate him from the training sessions, thereby making him feel “fear” of being rejected by the person who believed he loved and cared for him, thus achieving create an emotional state of dependency and intimidation.
In this context, the defendant then starred in several episodes in which he groped him and ordered him to masturbate in his presence, while he also did so, and when the boy refused -sometimes he was “petrified”, according to the Prosecutor’s Office-, he punished him and he even hit him.
When the minor complained, the defendant told him that it was completely normal behavior, that it was done among friends and that he was also like his father and that he should teach him how to do it, which confused the child in such a way that he he chose to remain silent, hoping, unsuccessfully, that these sexual assaults would not be repeated again.
In fact, the child even confronted the defendant, who physically assaulted him to break his will, while telling the mother that she did not know what was happening but noticed the tension between them, that she was trying to redirect him as a good father because he was with bad companies, he took drugs, did not study and was disrespectful.
According to the Prosecutor’s Office, the defendant’s “persuasion skills” made the mother believe him and support him, in front of her son, who saw what was happening “impotently”.
The sexual assaults continued until the beginning of 2013, when the victim told him that he had started dating a girl and that she was never going to consent to him continuing to touch her.
In 2020, after opening the investigation into this case, the investigating judge prohibited the defendant from approaching the victim and carrying out activities with minors.
This teacher, who has also been investigated for allegedly sexually assaulting a second minor at the same time, wrote down the alleged abuses in notebooks from whose account it appears that there are more victims.
