The Public Prosecutor's Office is seeking a 12-year prison sentence for a man of Ecuadorian nationality accused of sexually assaulting a woman at a home in Ibiza in March 2024.

The prosecution is also seeking €30,000 in compensation for the alleged victim. The case was due to be heard before the Provincial Court of the Balearic Islands on September 28, 2026.

The allegations are contained in the Public Prosecutor's written indictment. The accused is presumed innocent unless and until a court establishes otherwise.

Alleged Assault at an Ibiza Home

According to the prosecution's account, the accused had gone out drinking with one of his employees and the employee's partner.

After returning to the home they shared, the woman went to sleep while in a state of intoxication and reduced awareness caused by alcohol consumption.

The prosecution alleges that, knowing she was alone and in a semi-conscious state, the accused removed her clothing without her consent and sexually penetrated her.

These details come from the prosecution's account of the alleged events and have not been established as proven facts by a final judgment.

Victim Received Medical and Psychological Care

The prosecution states that the woman required psychological attention following the alleged assault.

She also received treatment for physical injuries that, according to the prosecution, resulted from the incident.

Prosecutors Seek 12 Years in Prison

The Public Prosecutor's Office is requesting 12 years' imprisonment for the accused for an offence of sexual assault.

It is also seeking €30,000 in compensation for the alleged victim for the harm caused.

The requested sentence is the prosecution's position. It is not the sentence imposed by a court.

Possible Expulsion From Spain

The prosecution has also proposed that, if a prison sentence is ultimately imposed, it could potentially be replaced by expulsion from Spain under the conditions applicable to the case.

The request would involve a 10-year prohibition on returning to Spain, with the proposed measure to apply once the defendant had served two-thirds of the sentence, reached third-degree prison status or been granted conditional release.

The final decision on any such measure would depend on the court's ruling.

Trial in the Provincial Court

The case was scheduled for trial before the Provincial Court of the Balearic Islands on September 28.

The court proceedings are intended to examine the evidence and determine whether the facts alleged by the prosecution have been proven and, if so, what legal consequences follow.

At the time of the reports, there was no final conviction in the case.

Ibiza One Stop Accuracy Note

This case must be reported as an ongoing criminal proceeding and prosecution allegation, not as a confirmed sexual assault or conviction.

The 12-year figure is the sentence requested by the Public Prosecutor's Office. The €30,000 figure is the compensation being requested for the alleged victim. Neither figure represents a sentence or compensation award already imposed by the court.

The account of the alleged assault comes from the prosecution's written indictment. The accused remains presumed innocent unless and until a court establishes guilt.
