First, his ex-partner took him away from his son, Samuel, from the age of three to 11.. He had to battle for years with being accused of sexually abusing the child, and the courts never even started any case, due to the lack of evidence.. Then, his ex, María Sevilla, was pardoned by the Government after his sentence of two and a half years in prison for kidnapping his son. Later, Irene Montero, Minister of Equality, branded him an abuser. And now the Supreme Court has agreed with him: he did it violating his right to honor. Rafael Marcos speaks, as always, very calm. He is a cook at a school in Estepona, he has remade his life and almost for the first time he tastes justice. His hell with a happy ending is told with hair and signs in the book 'Some Good Men' (La Esfera de Los Libros)

Did you think this verdict could be achieved? To be honest, no.. We took a setback when they denied us the recourse to pardon [by the Supreme Court for the granting of pardon to María Sevilla by the Government] and I thought that this would continue along the same lines of injustice, but luckily it has not been like that. The main thing is that she is doomed and if this lady can stop dedicating herself to politics it would be very good for this country. You, whom the minister called an abuser, have you felt mistreated by this government? Of course, since the granting of the I pardon this government has mistreated me. Because, come on, whether María [Sevilla] goes to jail or not doesn't matter to me, but that they have returned [Samuel's] parental authority seems incredible to me after what she did, because my son doesn't deserve it. It's obvious abuse. But come on, my son, with his 16th birthday, has put more sanity away from his mother than all the politicians and judges. Taking into account the clarity of his statements about you, the fact that he did not even appear through mediation and that there has been no hint of retraction on his part, do you think that Montero has been arrogant in his case? Absolutely, he has acted in an arrogant manner. I think she thought that because she was a minister she believed she was protected, even supported by the State Attorney's Office. I thought nothing was going to happen to him, it's clear. They believe they are far above everything. How can someone who is a Minister of Equality be convicted of such an act? We must be doing something wrong in this society to have people of this type from a Ministry precisely like that of Equality, something has to be reconsidered. It is not possible that someone who has done so much damage, in this case against men, has been in the Government for almost a full legislature. It seems that this lady has a fixation against us, or that she hates us or something. Has she ever commented that she does not understand how a government minister can act as an anti-system. Yes, because this lady has clearly promoted inequality and has acted against the law and the constitution. It's unbelievable, but that's how it is. How does someone feel when a political leader of this level socially condemns them like this? said about you because there is nothing, to get your son back to you, for him to say that all that was a lie and that he does not want to see his mother … And the heads of this country not only pardon her, but also want to show that she is a protective mother.. This had to explode somewhere. I still thought that justice was not going to be done, but I am very glad that yes. Does 18,000 euros fix that damage? Of course not, it seems little to me for the responsibility they have and the damage they have done. But come on, you were asking me how I have dealt with this social condemnation: my family and my people know very well who I am, I have been battling for a long time. The worst thing they could tell me in life is not that I had mistreated anyone, but that I had abused my son. No one could hurt me more than that. That a whole minister come out to say that and call me an abuser… Bah. Justice has been done and that is what matters. It is a stigma that stays there, but… Bah. A question that seems important to me: do you think that just as they have used you as an abuser, they have also used María Sevilla as a heroine? Of course. And as a flag. And these people have served that lure, until now. But I want to think that we are going to begin to assume that because you are a man you don't necessarily have to be an abuser, and because you are a woman you don't have to be mistreated. I think we all know that this is the case, but some radicals have hijacked the debate to make us believe otherwise for a while. You have to turn this page as soon as possible.
