A 71 year old man from El Puerto de Santa María, Cádiz province, has been remanded in custody after being charged with several counts of sexual assault against seven children aged between 12 years and 15 years to whom he was giving private tuition.
The man was arrested on Friday and due to the seriousness of the charges and the social alarm they would generate, the age of the detainee was not taken into account and he was sent to prison without the possibility of bail.
The abuse had apparently been going on for months at the man’s home where he gave private tuition. Police are examining the detainee’s computer and analysing numerous video recordings made during the lessons.
The investigation began after a complaint by one of the parents of a pupil in his class. The discovery of more victims has not been ruled out.
