The complaint for these events was filed Monday afternoon in the premises of the Basque Police, who arrested a man a few hours later in San Sebastián for his alleged involvement in the events.

According to the information collected by the Ertzaintza, the sexual assault occurred in the early hours of Monday in a house in San Sebastián.

The arrested person continues at the moment in police offices waiting to appear before the judicial authority.

The Diputación de Gipuzkoa has "strongly" condemned the aggression. The regional spokeswoman, Eider Mendoza, has stressed that "the physical integrity and dignity of the person are inviolable rights."

"The behaviors that undermine these rights have no place in our society. They are unfair and outrageous," Mendoza stressed.

He said that "the latest aggressions have shown that there is increasing social awareness and involvement against these crimes, but he stressed that there is still" much to do. "

"This type of aggression is due to macho ideas and attitudes, to the lack of equality of women and men, which endures in our society. It is urgent to overcome these structural attitudes if we want to become a society and a territory without sexist violence," he concluded .
