The National Police of Coria del Rio (Seville) arrested a woman on suspicion of the crimes of false reporting and simulating a crime after she reported sexual assault against a pedestrian with whom she had no relationship. .

Last November, the alleged victim reported to the Coria del Rio National Police Station that she had been sexually assaulted by an unknown person while exercising on a pedestrian path away from the city center.

According to the complainant, as she walked past a man who was apparently masturbating, he grabbed her arm tightly, destabilizing her and causing her cell phone to fall to the ground. According to the complainant, at that moment, when the woman bent down to pick it up, the man took the opportunity to bring his erect penis closer to her face.

Faced with such an attack, the woman quickly fled the scene and took refuge at a gas station, where she took a series of photographs of the car in which the alleged aggressor got into.

Immediate investigation given the seriousness of the facts

Given the seriousness of the reported events, the National Police immediately launched an investigation to establish the identity and location of the perpetrator of the events, based on information provided by the woman; thanks to which it was possible to identify first the vehicle and then its driver.

Subsequently, investigators reconstructed the events at the scene with the victim, who fully confirmed the version set out in the first instance in his complaint; at the same time, images from existing surveillance cameras located near the scene were collected in order to increase the evidentiary burden.

Post images

After agents reviewed the recordings they already had in their possession, they were able to verify that events did not occur as the complainant stated.

The photographs, according to police, show the woman walking next to the man as he peed on the road, and her passing by, leaving the road behind to go to a gas station, where the alleged author began photographing the man’s vehicle when he reached his height. .

Based on all of the above, the woman was arrested and charged with the crimes of making a false report and simulating a crime.
