A Las Palmas court has rejected the appeal of a man found guilty of sexual assault after groping the bottom of a woman in the street. The incident occurred in December 2020, when according to the prosecution “a man who was walking down a street in the capital approached the plaintiff with the intention of satisfying his most reprehensible sexual instincts and, without saying a word, touched one of her buttocks and leered at her."

The man was found guilty last May in an Arrecife criminal court and ordered to pay the victim €250 damages, as well as fine of €6 a day for over 18 months. His appeal was refused.
