A young woman denounces a sexual assault during the Night of San Juan in Valencia

The National Police is investigating an alleged sexual assault reported by a young woman who was approached near one of the beaches in the city of Valencia where thousands of people gathered last night to celebrate the Night of San Juan.

As reported this afternoon by the Government delegate in the Valencian Community, Pilar Bernabé, at around 1:00 p.m., the Office for Complaints and Attention to Women (ODAM) of the Valencia Food District registered the complaint of a woman for a sexual assault.

Bernabé has specified that the alleged attacker “has been identified” and that it is expected “that in the next few hours he can be arrested.”

“The investigation is under secrecy, and more information will be provided in the next few hours,” he concluded.

For this Night of San Juan, the Valencia City Council had arranged different Violet Points on its beaches.

In addition to these points, which are financed by the central government, two ODAM mobile offices have traveled through these beaches to protect possible victims of sexist attacks.
