The attack on the 12-year-old child occurred in school in Peñaflor, Seville in May, according to police reports.The document said that the victim was "removed from the sight of students and teachers and taken to the girl's bathroom" during a break where the attack allegedly happened.
The victims grandmother, whose identity was not shared, spoke to a Spanish TV programme 'Y Ahora Sonsoles' about the assault. She described the "hell" the poor young girl endured the days after the alleged attack, as she reportedly didn't tell anyone for days.how the girl didn't want to go to school, wouldn't eat and wouldn't sleep.
But according to Spanish Juvenile Law, when a perpetrator of rape is under the age of 14, he/she won't be held liable under the law.Andalusia's Councillor for Social Inclusion, Youth, Families and Equality said in a press conference last week: "From now on what we are going to do is put in place all the mechanisms for the protection of the girl, obviously, to fund the origin of this conduct, and based on that, adopt the appropriate measures".
