Two weeks after a female officer filed a complaint against him for alleged rape at his official residence, José Ángel González—who resigned when the judge summoned him to testify—is attempting to discredit the audio recording accompanying his defense. He argues that the recording "does not support" the complaint's account, but rather introduces elements that "demonstrate a very different relationship" between them: "It reveals a prior personal relationship of trust, in which complicity, intimate contact, and mutual verbal interaction are evident," states the document, which he has submitted. He argues that the conversation shows an "emotional dynamic" that is "incompatible" with the "alleged scenario of violence" described by the victim and maintains that the audio reveals there was no "scenario of pressure," but rather an "outburst of jealousy," a "clear demand for attention," and a "demand for exclusivity." Furthermore, she asserts that José Ángel González offered her permission to leave his home on two occasions: "You can leave. I've never used you. Go, go whenever you want. Come on, go."</p>]]></description>

Therefore, while the public prosecutor's request totaled 196 years for all defendants, the sentences, combined, are 32 years and seven months in prison for all five defendants. With the sentence accepted by the five defendants, they are convicted of the assaults and of belonging to a criminal group for committing crimes against sexual freedom.</p>]]></description>

The regional minister for Social Rights and Inclusion, Mònica Martínez Bravo, announced on Wednesday that she would appear before Parliament, and this Thursday, Junts, PSC, ERC, and Comuns have called for a commission of inquiry in Parliament to delve deeper into the "crisis" in the management of the DGAIA. "It is evident that the DGAIA needs a profound transformation, and this has been evident for many years," admitted the socialist minister from Balaguer. <a href="https://en.ara.cat/society/man-has-been-sentenced-to-107-years-in-prison-for-raping-foster-child-and-filming-her-with-other-pedophiles_1_5377215.html" >case of pedophilia</a> It coincides with a time of change in the institution.

Another was a housing case for the Generalitat (Catalan government), when, in reality, the former ward—of Senegalese origin—had been working and living in Valencia for months. When the worker alerted his superior about the case, he was urged not to expose "the malpractice and misappropriation of public funds" carried out by the housing service. "Fund," the young man warned his coordinator. "Yes, yes, I know," was the response. </p>]]></description>

Now, this man faces a sentence of 107 years and six months in prison, not only for producing and distributing child pornography, but also for how he obtained the thousands of images. Many of them were obtained by sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl, under the guardianship of the General Directorate for the Care of Children and Adolescents (DGAIA). The defendant recorded the assaults himself and also contacted other pedophiles to rape the girl while he filmed them. Five of them were identified and are now being investigated in another case.</p>]]></description>

The citizen appealed the Ministry of Justice's rejection in 2023, and that same year, the Supreme Court overturned the 1992 ruling by the Barcelona Provincial Court, which sentenced the man to 24 years in prison for two counts of rape and two counts of rape. The high court upheld the appeal based on semen found in one victim's underwear, which did not genetically match that of the convicted man, and ruled that the confusion was due to the fact that he resembled a man who had committed at least one crime.</p>]]></description>

At that time, she did not have papers and was looking for work as a caregiver on the Milanuncios portal. The man, who was 68 years old, contacted her and took her to an apartment in El Prat de Llobregat making her believe that she was going to a job interview. There he sexually assaulted her. After the assault, the convicted man warned the victim that if she reported him he would have her deported.</p>]]></description>

The four defendants, who are between 26 and 32 years old, face over 40 years in prison. The prosecutor considers all of them to be necessary cooperators of the rapes and one of them also a perpetrator. That is why it makes them responsible for the three sexual assaults inside the warehouse.</p>]]></description>
