On January 8, Èric will return to Lledoners prison, where he had already spent two years in pretrial detention for sexually assaulting a minor.

Turkish police have arrested Youness En Naciri, a man accused of sexually abusing more than 100 children and participating in the largest child pornography network ever dismantled in the State, according to Turkish media reports reported this Friday by the Efe news agency. in a joint operation by the Mossos d'Esquadra and the Civil Guard. This is what is known as the Trinity case, which uncovered a child abuse and pornography network that recruited minors in vulnerable situations to subject them to sexual abuse and film them in more than 300 shoots, mainly in an apartment in Tortosa (Tarragona), but also in other countries such as Thailand.

Until a few years ago, society – and therefore also the media – sought to hide sexual violence. Rape and abuse at school or within the family were a shame for the victim and her environment and were not made public. This has been changing. Although there is still a lot of work to be done, more and more victims are daring to speak out, to explain what they have experienced – even if it is many years after the events – and this helps to make people understand the seriousness of a social problem that has been buried for too many years. We journalists have followed them in this process, making our mistakes along the way, but moving forward.
