The relatives of one of the two girls who were victims of a sexual assault in Logroño have filed a complaint with the Civil Guard after receiving death threats from those around the alleged aggressors, sources from the investigation confirmed to EFE on Monday.
The complaint for these events, made through social networks, has been referred by the Civil Guard to the National Police, which is in charge of investigating the group sexual assault against two girls aged 12 and 13, which occurred on 9 of April.
The events investigated occurred in a storage room of a portal located on Avenida de Navarra, in the capital of La Rioja, where the two girls went after being summoned through Instagram and where they were sexually assaulted by several minors.
In total, seven minors have been linked to these events: two of them, under 13 years of age, have remained in the custody of their parents. For another four, aged between 14 and 17, internment has been decreed, while there is a fifth who has a restraining order and a ban on communicating with the victims.
The president of the Superior Court of Justice of La Rioja (TSJR), Javier Marca, has asked the media on Monday to “be extremely prudent” in the information they publish about this group sexual assault, because both the victims and the alleged aggressors they are minor.
The president of the TSJR has insisted that the purpose of the agreed measures towards the alleged aggressors is, “rather than repression, protective and protective of minors, reform, resocialization and reeducation”.
This is not the first time that close relatives of an alleged victim of sexual assault have denounced threats from those around the aggressors. The circumstance occurs in another case, that of a minor under 11 years of age at the MÃ gic de Badalona (Barcelona). The victim’s brother also received death threats from a teenager, for whom a juvenile court ordered six months of closed confinement.
