Man Arrested in Madrid for Allegedly Harassing Nine Women While Posing as a Prestigious Lawyer

05 November 2026 г.

A 41-year-old man has been arrested in Madrid after nine women reported being approached, harassed and sent sexually explicit messages by an individual who allegedly pretended to be a prestigious lawyer working in the city's financial district.

The arrest was carried out by the Policía Nacional on 23 October 2026, following an investigation into complaints spanning 2024 to 2026. The case was made public on 4 November, with police warning that further potential victims could still come forward.

According to investigators, the suspect allegedly used a similar approach when contacting women in public places, presenting himself as a successful lawyer working around the Cuatro Torres business district to gain their confidence and obtain their personal information.

How the alleged encounters began

The man allegedly approached women from behind, touching their shoulders to attract their attention before asking where he could find a nearby bank branch.

During the conversation, he reportedly claimed to work as a prestigious lawyer in Madrid's financial district. He would then ask for their personal details and suggest meeting for dinner or going out for a drink.

Some women reportedly walked away immediately. Others eventually gave him their telephone numbers after he continued insisting.

According to EFE, the reported encounters took place in the Tetuán district and involved women under the age of 30. The approaches allegedly occurred at different times of the day, including when women were leaving work or classes.

Insulting and sexually explicit messages

Women who provided their telephone numbers subsequently received messages containing humiliating insults and sexually explicit comments.

Police sources cited by Europa Press described messages containing expressions such as "zorrita" and "puta loca", alongside obscene sexual propositions.

The reported harassment did not necessarily end when the women blocked his telephone number. According to the investigation, the individual allegedly continued contacting some of them through social media platforms.

EFE also reported that some women experienced anxiety attacks after the encounters. One complainant said the man grabbed her wrist during an incident, forcing her to pull her arm away to free herself.

Several women also reported feeling intimidated and said they encountered the individual again on subsequent days.

Nine complaints led to the investigation

The complaints were registered between 2024 and 2026. Some of the women had previously shared their experiences on social media, helping reveal similarities between their accounts.

After investigating the reports, police identified the alleged perpetrator and organised an operation that resulted in his arrest on 23 October.

The Policía Nacional has not ruled out the possibility of additional women coming forward as the investigation develops.

Suspect placed at the disposal of judicial authorities

Following his arrest, the 41-year-old man was placed at the disposal of the judicial authorities.

The available reports do not establish a conviction or disclose any final judicial decision. The allegations therefore remain subject to the ongoing legal process.

The case highlights how apparently ordinary encounters in public places can allegedly be used to obtain personal information and telephone numbers, followed by unwanted and abusive contact through digital platforms.

Police are continuing to investigate whether further women may have been affected.
