The National Police has detained

four men of Portuguese nationality

as alleged perpetrators of a crime of sexual abuse committed against

two young people aged 22 and 23

in a pension in Gijón, according to sources from the investigation.

The same sources have indicated that both women,

an Asturian and a Basque

, went to the Police Station at 6:30 am this morning to present the complaint in which they explained that they

had met a man in a pub

and that they traveled with him to the boarding house where he was staying to have a sexual encounter.

According to the report of the complainants, on the way

they were joined by another individual

and, upon reaching the room, they encountered two other men who

forced them to have sexual relations with all of them

.

The young women have been transferred to the Gijon hospital in Cabueñes to undergo a medical examination, while the alleged assailants have been transferred to the police station, waiting to be brought to justice.

Both the president of the Principality, Adrián Barbón, and the delegate of the Government in Asturias, Delia Losa have used their social networks to show their most absolute condemnation of what happened.

"Machismo attacks and kills, is an attack on the freedom of women. My total and absolute condemnation for the multiple rape in Gijón, with four young men arrested for sexually abusing two girls," said the Asturian president.

Delia Losa recalled that "only yes is yes", while describing the event as "despicable and abominable. Once again a group of men uses their position of power to intimidate and attack two women."
