The coroner on duty examines this Monday the boy who reported a rape on January 9 by a relative in San Sebastián.
San Sebastian (EFE) informed EFE sources of the case.
The minor’s lawyer, Beatriz Rodríguez Aparicio, had requested the practice of this evidence up to four times since the same day the complaint was filed, although the court in charge of the case did not authorize it until last January 30, although without Arrange a date for the tests.
Faced with this situation, the lawyer has once again demanded that the test take place “with the utmost urgency and speed” in a document to which EFE had access this Monday.
forensic recognition
Finally, the court has agreed to this request in a ruling notified today, in which it orders that the forensic medical examination of the minor take place “in the terms requested” by the lawyer who represents the child and his mother ex officio
The events date back to January 9, when the victim and her mother went to the Ertzaintza to report the alleged sexual assaults against the minor by a relative on different occasions over the last two years.
In this period of time, the investigated would have taken advantage of the moments in which he was in the care of the minor, while his mother went to work, to allegedly sexually assault him.
provisional release
The person under investigation, a foreign national, remains on provisional release for these events, despite the fact that the private prosecution requested his admission to prison, although, as a precautionary measure to prevent his escape, the judge investigating the case agreed to withdraw his passport and it has prohibited him from leaving the country, in addition to forcing him to appear in court once every fortnight.
That same day, the investigator also initiated preliminary proceedings to investigate the matter and, among other evidence, ordered both the defendant and the victim to take a statement. In addition, she requested from the psychosocial team of the courts “a report of credibility and psychological affectation” of the minor, although without going so far as to carry out a “forensic exploration test” on the child as her lawyer had demanded.
sexual disease
Since then, the representation of the minor has insistently demanded the practice of the aforementioned forensic test given the danger that the minor could have been infected with a sexually transmitted infection (STI) and the possibility that the delay in time prevented the detection of possible lesions and biological traces in the intimate parts of the child.
In the absence of any forensic evidence, on the 17th the boy and his mother decided to go to the Emergency Department of the Donostia Hospital. In this center, upon learning of the minor’s circumstances, the hospital contacted the “corresponding” Investigating Court, where the magistrate informed the doctor that it was “not necessary to take any action” at that time because “they would contact the the family” from the court when considered “necessary”.
