Researchers from

the Family and Women's Care Unit

(UFAM) of the National Police have compiled evidence that the two minors were attacked, one of them in a group.

Although their versions do not coincide, they do in essence.

One of them was the one that sounded the alarm by sending a very short video to a friend on WhatsApp in which only the floor of the house could be seen and a scream and some voices could be heard.

She assured that they entered voluntarily with the two boys they knew but that, despite the fact that they kissed, she did not give her consent to have sex and was forced, without being able to specify if the other minor gave it or was also attacked.

Before the arrival of the four friends, she fled the house but was able to see the group attack of the four on the other minor and record the alert video.

altercations between relatives

The story of the other girl agrees that both were sexually assaulted, without giving consent at any time, but adds that they were forced to enter the semi-ruined house, in whose basement there were mattresses and which is usually used by adolescents from a nearby neighborhood to make bottle and consume drugs.

The police search device for the minors was activated by the video, which the friend showed her mother, but they did not find them until they located their parents.

Both denied the facts, even defending that it was a "joke", until their families took them to the hospital to be explored and the injuries emerged.

It was then that they filed the complaint.

The identification of the aggressors was quick and the arrest of the five, all residents in a troubled and humble neighborhood of Burjassot, first forced the deployment of riot police and then their transfer from the Burjassot police station to the Zapadores police station, in Valencia, due to pressure from the relatives of the detainees.

A strong police presence was again necessary in the City of Justice when relatives congregated and an altercation occurred between them.
