• Assault: Six 18-year-old girl in Bilbao are suspected of multiple rape
  • Assault: One of the six attackers had met the victim of the rape through social networks

The Investigating Court number 4 of Bilbao has agreed to file in a provision the case for an alleged group rape of a girl in August last year in the Etxebarria Park in the Biscayan capital, considering that the evidence contradicts the complainant .

The case, which became known as 'La Manada de Bilbao' , occurred on August 2 of last year, when a girl reported having been raped by six men at dawn on the Etxebarria Park in the Biscayan capital. and caused a lot of commotion in Basque public opinion, at a time with the sentence for La Manada de Pamplona still recent and with multiple sexual assaults at parties in different Basque towns. As a result of this alleged group rape, a series of recommendations were published by the Erzaintza so that women did not walk alone or meet strangers in the networks, which raised protests by feminist groups.

Following the complaint of the alleged victim, six young men were arrested, who were later released and the judge of the case ordered the entry into preventive detention of two of them, one of whom was also later released with precautionary measures.

Only the young man who was clearly identified by the victim before the Ertzaintza was left in prison by a tattoo of an owl very visible on his neck.

Almost a year later, the Investigating Court number 4 of Bilbao has provisionally filed this case, considering that the young woman's testimony does not correspond to the evidence from the investigation and the testimonial, genetic and technological tests carried out these months, reports Eph.

The judge of the case does not see sufficient elements to determine that a crime occurred and evidences contradictions in the testimony of the complainant before the Ertzaintza and in the court, which does not correspond to the result of the tests, although this order is not firm and can be appealed.

The young woman stated that she went to the Etxebarria park after making an appointment through social networks with a young man and, according to her version, she was later surrounded and sexually assaulted by several individuals.

Apparently, later the victim incurred various contradictions that have finally led to the file.
