A 60-year-old massage therapist has been arrested in Rivas-Vaciamadrid after being accused of recording over 130 clients without their consent. The Guardia Civil is also investigating a possible case of sexual assault.
The Guardia Civil has arrested a 60-year-old man in Rivas-Vaciamadrid, owner of a massage centre, after it was discovered that he had recorded more than 130 women while they undressed to receive treatment. The investigation began after a client found a hidden camera in the establishment, which led the authorities to seize the recorded material and proceed with the arrest of the suspect.
Authorities have confirmed that, in addition to the offence related to the recordings, he is also charged with sexual assault in some cases. After being brought before the courts, the detainee has been placed in preventive custody by court order.
The Rivas-Vaciamadrid City Council has expressed its support for the affected women and has made resources available to provide psychological support and legal advice. Possible victims can access these services through the Women's Mailbox or a specific phone line set up by the Council.
The municipal government is considering filing a public prosecution due to the widespread impact that the alleged crimes have on the community. However, they have emphasized that any decision will be made within the legal framework and with the utmost caution.
This case highlights the growing concern about safety and privacy in establishments dedicated to personal well-being. In recent years, several similar incidents have led to an increase in reports related to sexual abuse and violations of privacy in aesthetic and massage centres.
As the judicial investigation progresses, the City Council reaffirms its commitment to ensuring that all possible victims have access to the necessary resources for their recovery. This situation is expected to generate a broader debate on the regulation and supervision of such businesses, as well as on how to better protect clients from abusive situations.
Affected women are encouraged to report any similar incidents or seek assistance if they feel their rights have been violated. For more information on available services or to file a complaint, they can contact the City Council directly or go to the corresponding municipal centre.
