The ordeal of a younger Galician: her stalker didn’t go to jail till he burst 15 telematic bracelets


The 21-year-old sufferer has been enduring an actual hell for a 12 months His alleged stalker is a boy he dated for slightly over a month They have despatched him to jail after fixed disconnections on the units

She met a boy of the same age to hers in November 2021. She began a relationship with him, however after a month and a half she determined to go away him as a consequence of his controlling conduct. There she started the hell of her. Harassment, threats and even an alleged try and run over. Neither a safety order nor a telematic bracelet managed to cease the ordeal.

His alleged stalker supposedly needed to break 15 units earlier than the courts determined to ship him to pretrial detention. The sufferer, a younger lady from Sanxenxo (Pontevedra) solely 21 years outdated, has needed to undergo a judicial odyssey to realize this safety.

We talked about his case a couple of months in the past at NIUS. It all began in January 2022. Just after leaving the connection, the sufferer suffered an assault on her automotive. Later, she began receiving threatening notes. Later an try and run over, presumably, by her ex-partner.

After this final episode, the younger lady determined to denounce what occurred within the Civil Guard. She bought a safety order. This measure was revoked by the Provincial Court of Pontevedra, however in view of the truth that the intimidation didn’t cease, the court docket agreed to it once more.

However, says his lawyer, it was not sufficient both. After new threats, a court docket ordered to place a telematic bracelet on him final summer season.

The telematic bracelet, a “torture” for the sufferer

This geolocation system was supposed to make sure that the alleged stalker didn’t come inside 500 meters of the younger lady. “That system, sadly, ended up being torture for the sufferer,” says Isabel Fole, his lawyer.

“He continuously approached her home, sounding the method alarm, and the Civil Guard continuously known as her to search out out if she was okay as a result of they could not find him,” she provides.

Up to fifteen bracelets, says his lawyer, got here to have the alleged stalker. “Sometimes the flask appeared broken with water, others with indicators of tampering… The case during which 15 bracelets have been broken in a matter of six months,” she says. “Nobody can assume that this occurred by probability,” says this lawyer.

Fole defends that this measure will not be efficient if the aggressor doesn’t need to collaborate. “If he would not respect her, the one one who suffers is the sufferer,” he says.

The boy has been despatched to provisional jail

After a number of incidents with the bracelets, the boy has been despatched to provisional jail. “He is in jail as a result of there are 15 units allegedly tampered with and since the threats have intensified,” says this lawyer.

Fole denounces that the younger lady may be very afraid “Calm down, the sufferer, none,” he exposes. “The provisional detention order is being appealed and he fears that, when the Court arrives, what occurred the primary time with the safety order will occur to him: that it will likely be revoked,” she affirms.

“Unprotected” and “helpless”. That is what this younger Galician lady feels, as he explains.
