A Moroccan man, identified only by his initials A.M.A., was deported from Spain after being convicted of sexually assaulting a young woman in a park in Ceuta. The incident occurred on September 27, 2025, and the man was sentenced to two years in prison, which was commuted to deportation from Spain for five years. The court also imposed a restraining order, prohibiting him from approaching the victim or contacting her in any way for the same period.
According to the court ruling, the man and an accomplice, identified as L.B., approached the victim and sat down next to her on a bench. One of them then inserted his hand under her skirt and touched intimate areas above her underwear without her consent. The victim felt that she had been attacked and humiliated. The court found that the man had admitted to the crime and accepted the sentence.
The case was heard by the Criminal Court No. 2 of the First Instance in Ceuta. The court took into account the man's admission of guilt and his acceptance of the sentence. The accomplice, L.B., is still at large and his whereabouts are unknown. The court ruling was handed down on September 2026.
The deportation order was issued in accordance with Spanish law, which allows for the expulsion of foreign nationals who have been convicted of certain crimes. The man's deportation was seen as a necessary measure to protect the victim and prevent further harm. The restraining order also aims to protect the victim from any further contact with the perpetrator.
This case is part of a series of sexual assault cases that have been heard by courts in Ceuta in recent times. However, this particular case dates back to autumn 2025 and the sentence was handed down in September 2026. The court's decision to deport the man has been seen as a firm stance against sexual violence.
The victim's identity has not been disclosed, but it is understood that she was a young woman who was enjoying a evening out in the park when the incident occurred. The court's ruling has been welcomed by victim support groups, who have praised the authorities for taking a strong stance against sexual violence.
The man was taken to court by the National Police before the sentence was handed down. His deportation from Spain is expected to be enforced immediately. The authorities have confirmed that they will continue to work to bring the second suspect to justice.
