A piano teacher is sentenced to four years in prison for sexual abuse in Zaragoza

The First Section of the Provincial Court of Zaragoza has sentenced a piano teacher to four years in prison for the crime of continuous sexual abuse of a child under 16 years of age.

In addition, he is sentenced to probation for five years, and sentences him to pay all legal costs, including those of the private prosecution.. As civil liability, the magistrates impose the obligation to compensate the minor with 2,000 euros for moral damages. The defendant touched her genitals once in almost every class, after which she continued as if nothing had happened..

These facts displeased the minor who did not understand their meaning, and caused him anxiety, not telling anyone or doing anything to put an end to this situation. He had been stagnant in piano classes for three years, and the defendant told him to leave the academy, and so did his father, but the minor liked to play the piano, according to the proven facts..

Later, in October 2020, he filed a complaint against his father, for mistreatment and because he wanted to go live with his mother.. Then he told his older brother what happened with the teacher, and then his mother, although it took him ten days to file the complaint because he did not want to harm the accused nor did he want to talk about those issues..

The court considers that there is a continuing crime since the defendant in May 2018 touched her for the first time and, “from then on he did the same to her.”.
