Mossos d'Esquadra detained a 25-year-old man on Thursday, March 26, for a sexual assault on February 13 in Barcelona's Montjuïc area. Police sources cited by Europa Press and El Periódico state the victim, a woman walking her two dogs in Jardins de Mossèn Costa i Llobera around 11:30 a.m., was grabbed by the neck and raped by the assailant. She received emergency care and was taken to a hospital before filing a complaint with the Mossos' Central Unit for Sexual Assaults (UCAS), which launched an investigation. The suspect, convicted in 2018 for at least four rapes committed as a minor, is serving time at Quatre Camins prison in La Roca del Vallès, Barcelona, where he entered that year. He was on a prison leave—not his first—during the incident, and police arrested him there upon identification.
