A woman denounces and investigates whether in Big Week she has suffered a sexual assault
- A woman complains after awakening her discomfort on a train that departed from Bilbao on Tuesday and not being able to remember what happened in the early morning. Medical observation has reinforced the hypothesis of sexual assault and the Ertzaintza is investigating what happened. Since the parties began, the attacks have been on the rise, so on Wednesday Konpartsak has activated the protocol.
Security Advisor Josu Erkorekoa reported on Wednesday an alleged sexual assault that occurred during Bilbao's Big Week in an interview with the Spanish SER radio. On Thursday, in an interview with Radio Popular Herri Irratia, she announced more information about the case: a woman woke up on Tuesday on a train departing from Bilbao, after passing Bilbao's Big Week, without remembering or distressing about what happened for a while in the early morning. He found himself in this situation and went to a health center for observation, as recommended after suffering a sexual assault or, as in this case, in the belief of having suffered a sexual assault, which is possible, without showering or washing.
According to information provided by Erkoreka, observation by doctors has reinforced the hypothesis of sexual assault by finding "conditions compatible with a possible sexual assault". The Ertzaintza is investigating what happened.
Activation of the protocol in the face of increased attacks
