Man accused of sexually assaulting his granddaughter and nine-year-old boyfriend while playing “Pilla Cuca” acquitted

The Valladolid court acquitted a man of charges of sexually assaulting his granddaughter and a nine-year-old friend who claimed they were touched when they were “playing” with the defendant “catching Cuca”. A judgment that does not mean “in any way confirming that they are not telling the truth,” but that does not take into account the proven facts that coincide with a family conflict. “The motive of resentment and latent hostility in the minor’s environment cannot be ruled out.”

Attention is drawn to the lawsuit filed in 2023 several episodes in which the defendant was accused of sexual assault under the “excuse” of this game mentioned above, the facts contained in the verdict were not “proven”. Specifically, reference was made to several incidents between 2019 and 2020 in which his granddaughter allegedly said that he touched her hands when she was alone with him in the defendant’s house and in the context mentioned above. genitals and had also inserted his fingers into the vagina. On another occasion, reference was made to a day when the girl and another friend had met him in the park and he suggested that they go to a secluded place with them and play “Tote-All”.

The public prosecutor’s office had demanded 24 years in prison. However, the evidence presented at the oral hearing “did not allow us to be fully convinced of the facts of the case,” affirms the chamber, referring to the statements of witnesses and experts. Among them were those of the explorers who assisted the granddaughter and to whom she explained with a “probably believable” story that “At first I didn’t understand these acts, which began when I was 5 or 6 years old. The fact that he realized what they meant was something bad when he saw Tiktok videos.. Afterwards, the girl said, “They stopped calling him grandfather and called him ‘Old Man’ instead, and to them, their family was dead.” “Thanks to me, that’s why we’re here,” the little girl’s friend told experts . She said the defendant’s granddaughter told her about these “games” and “she was afraid to say it, but she could because it had nothing to do with it” and she was referring to the above day when she met in the park and “when he caught them, he spanked them.” The defendant’s daughter was present that day and saw the girls leave and lost sight of them along with her father. When they returned, he asked them what they had done and they replied that they were “catching up.”

The defendant, for his part, denied everything and hinted at it “Poor relations with family due to problems with his wife due to his social networksand turns the children against him. A context indicated by the sentence could have been the minor’s “hint in the interpretation of her memories and influenced by the other female family members regarding their abusive content.” “It does not appear that she was unaware of this climate of resentment toward her grandfather” and “she did not report the facts spontaneously but was forced to do so by circumstances” when her friend recounted them.

Such is the hearing of Valladolid acknowledges the “inaccuracies” and emphasizes that the touching took place “while the minor herself stated that she was small and only became aware of her libidinal nature years later,” on “the date on which the events that constitute the “The complaint of the minors” against her grandfather occurred “coinciding with a moment of family conflict as a result of her grandmother’s divorce proceedings” in which the young girl’s mother “stands by his side” and even if “she claims to be neutral to be, she doesn’t hide it.” hostility that she has harbored since childhood.” feels towards his father.
