According โto the woman’s โขtestimony, the harassment escalated, culminatingโค in a violent physical and sexual assault by one of the men. โขshe was โฃable โto escape and โimmediately contacted emergency services via โฃSOS Deiak 112.

He remained in police custody for further proceedings and is โexpected to be transferred to the Bilbao โCourt of Guard shortly.
Authorities areโ continuing to investigate the โขincident.

It avoids โขsensationalizingโฃ language and focuses on โpresentingโ the facts โin a clear and concise manner. โคItโฃ also removes the โฃperhapsโฃ problematic phrasingโค around “sexual freedom” and focuses on the โฃcrime committed – sexualโ assault.
