Actress Elisa Mouliaá is at the center of one of the most high-profile sexual assault cases against Íñigo Errejón, former spokesperson for the Sumar party, and her lawyer has taken center stage. Alfredo Arrien, a 41-year-old from Madrid who works at the law firm Paredes & Asociados, has handled sixteen of Spain's most high-profile cases and is well-versed in situations like the one this week, when a citizen challenged a statement his client made to the media. In an interview with ARA, he reveals how he became known: it was through the rape case of Nancy Peter, an undocumented Nigerian prostitute, who was raped in 2011 by a Spanish National Police officer, who was ultimately sentenced to ten and a half years in prison. "Nobody believed her," he says. "Then vulnerable people started coming to me, people no one believed, and I continue to take on seemingly impossible cases because I enjoy it," he concludes. He's had "so many high-profile cases" that he's "constantly" on television. The Nancy Peter case came to him from a "friend of one of his mother's clients," who had been "rejected by four lawyers who hadn't believed her." That was one of the cases where he crossed paths with Judge Carretero, whom he's now working with again: "He believed me in the first case of the undocumented Nigerian woman; the evidence was clear," he says, calling him a "good judge" after working with him several times. The lawyer Miriam Vergara won that case, and he climbed the ladder, taking on cases like the La Atalaya case, to defend the family of Nelson David, murdered by Pepe Lomas—who killed him after entering his property with a gun, a case Vox then campaigned on. The criminal lawyer managed to avoid him, securing compensation and a conviction.

It's true that actress Elisa Mouliaá has the right to accuse a man of sexually harassing her. She has the right, later, to recant (due to pressure or whatever). And she has the right to accuse him again. But it's also true that when she says she wrote to her friends that night that he had harassed her, she's not talking about "proof," but at most an "impression." And it's true that the judge was rude to her, but he was no less so to him.

Five days after surprisingly announcing that withdrew the accusation of sexual abuse Actress Elisa Mouliaá, who had filed a complaint against Íñigo Errejón, has withdrawn her initial statement and decided to remain in the criminal case. Sources from her defense team confirmed to ARA that she will continue as a private prosecutor in the proceedings and attributed her initial decision to an "emotional breakdown." In the document she submitted to the courts last Wednesday, she stated that she was withdrawing the accusation "totally, freely, and irrevocably," but it lacked her lawyer's signature, an error the judge had already pointed out needed to be corrected. Now, no changes will be necessary because Mouliaá will remain a party to the case. He is asking for three years in prison.for the former Sumar deputy and compensation of 30,000 euros.

One month after the judge decided to send Íñigo Errejón to trial Regarding an alleged sexual assault against Elisa Mouliaá in 2021, the actress has announced that she is withdrawing the accusation. "It's not a retraction, it's a boundary," she explained in a tweet. She emphasized that, after the resignation of the former spokesperson for Sumar in Congress Following anonymous accusations and seeing the emergence of narratives suggesting they might be false, she came forward to "show her face" to "confirm that everything was true" and "protect other women." Now, after thirteen months of investigation, she believes that "the truth is out on its own." "Over time, no other victim has come forward. I've been carrying all of this alone, and I can't continue doing so. No one should have to bear something like this alone," the actress argues. Mouliaá He was asking for three years in prison for Errejón and a €30,000 compensation payment, which she has now waived. "I'm not running away, I'm finishing my part by demonstrating that I don't want money or the limelight," she emphasizes. In the document she has submitted to the courts, she highlights that Judge Adolfo Carretero saw "indications of criminality" in the complaint and stresses that she is not retracting her account, but rather making a decision based on "strictly personal and health reasons" after experiencing a "feeling of exposure and exhaustion."

Despite the opposition of the Prosecutor's Office, the Judge Adolfo Carretero The court has decided to send Íñigo Errejón to trial for the alleged sexual assault of Elisa Mouliaá. The actress filed the complaint just over a year ago, after the then-spokesperson for Sumar resign from all public offices and leave active politics after admitting to "toxic" behavior with women. She recounted three incidents that occurred at a party in 2021, which the magistrate concluded could constitute a continuing offense against sexual freedom. "The evidence exists and was not entirely refuted by the defendant's version of events," the judge concluded after thirteen months of investigation. Now, he has imposed a €30,000 bail on Errejón—the compensation Mouliaá is seeking for moral damages—and summoned him to appear on January 15 to be notified of the opening of the trial. Elisa Mouliaá and the Specialized Association for the Comprehensive Defense of Victims of Crime—the private prosecution—are seeking a three-year prison sentence for him, but the Public Prosecutor's Office has requested that the case be dismissed and will not charge him with any crime, considering that its commission "has not been sufficiently justified."

Actress Elisa Mouliáa has denounced the Prosecutor's Office's decision not to charge former Sumar spokesperson Íñigo Errejón with sexual assault and to request the dismissal of the case, as reported by The Spanish And legal sources confirmed to ARA. "For a non-consensual kiss (the Rubiales case), the Prosecutor's Office came forward with strong charges," he criticized, referring to Jennifer Hermoso.

Judge Adolfo Carretero has agreed to prosecute former MP Íñigo Errejón for an alleged sexual assault against actress Elisa Mouliaá in late September 2021. This is stated in a court order, to which Europa Press had access, issued this Friday, December 4. The magistrate believes there is evidence that there may have been acts of a sexual nature without the victim's consent and therefore proposes that the accused be sent to trial. In the order, the judge refers to three separate incidents in which the former leader of the Sumar party allegedly committed sexual assault. First, in the elevator of the friends' house where they went after Errejón's book presentation; then at that address; and finally in the taxi that took them to the actress's home. For this reason, the judge uses the plural form of "sexual assault" in the order.
