For two months the Mossos d'Esquadra were looking for a serial rapist in l'Hospitalet de Llobregat. He acted at night and usually on weekends. He chose young girls on the street and followed them to the doorway of their house, where he assaulted them. There he strangled them and threatened them verbally before raping them. The police have arrested the alleged perpetrator, a 26-year-old man of Peruvian nationality, to whom they attribute five assaults, two of which involved penetration. Some could not be consummated due to the victims' resistance.
