Three people have been arrested by National Police officers and charged with inducing a 14-year-old child to leave home, induction into prostitution and sexual assault.
The investigation began in 2025, when a 14-year-old girl disappeared from a foster home in Arrecife. Agents from the Family and Minors unit of the National Police eventually traced her to an illegally occupied apartment in a complex in Puerto del Carmen.
The girl told officers she was afraid and thought she may be pregnant after having sex with various older men in exchange for money and other items. She was immediately taken to hospital for a check-up.
A 57-year-old woman, who slept alongside the girl, has been arrested, along with two men, one of whom has been charged with sexual assault.
Police have reminded citizens that they can report suspicions of crimes at www.policia.es, clicking on the “Colabora” option. The site is available in several languages.
