A depraved man in Spain will spend 19 years behind bars for making his elderly mother a “prisoner in her own home” and r@ping her on a near daily basis.
The 47-year-old, named only as Rafael CDVM by Spanish press, was sentenced in Cadiz for repeatedly s£xually assaulting his 83-year-old mother, who has since d!ed.
The incident took place in the coastal town of Chiclana de la Frontera.
Police started investigating the horrific case in the Spring of 2023 after two of the elderly woman’s caregivers discovered blood stains on her underwear.
They had previously witnessed the woman’s perverted son threatening to kick her and rip her head off, according to court documents seen by Spanish newspaper El Pais.
The victim had also told her caregivers: “My little boy slept here today, and I don’t want him to. I don’t want him in my bed.”
The carers, who were “constantly under surveillance” by Rafael, also found bruises on the elderly woman’s body on several occasions, and made several complaints via email and text message to the company that employed them about the ongoing abuse.
After receiving reports of the horrific abuse endured by the old woman, social services visited her.
She confessed that her son had gotten into bed with her and r@ped her and said that he “does it almost every day”.
But seven months after the investigation was opened into the disturbing case, the elderly woman d!ed and her testimony could not be considered as evidence in her son’s trial.
The victim’s caregivers, a social worker, and a forensic doctor testified, however.
Rafael’s defense argued that he suffers from an intellectual disability, but forensic doctors noted that his “intellectual capacity was sufficient to discern what was right and wrong”.
A statement issued by the Provincial Court of Cadiz said: “This court understands that the defendant generated a hellish and terrifying environment for his mother.”
News of the horrific case comes after a depraved father was sentenced to 17 years behind bars after he r@ped and “prostituted” his seven-month-old daughter in his Spanish apartment.
The 27-year-old waiter, named only as Santiago, had been investigated in 2022 for distributing more than 100 child p0rnography videos and 270 images online.
During the investigation, Spanish police discovered that the man, who is of Venezuelan origin, had filmed himself in two instances r@ping his daughter in his flat in the neighbourhood of Aluche in south west Madrid.
He was also found to have distributed footage of the horrific act on the dark web.
The shocking discovery led to his arrest in 2023.
At the trial held earlier this month, Santiago admitted to the charges brought against him of one count of s£xual assault of a minor and one count of production of child p0rnography.
Santiago was also found to have used various social media platforms and instant messaging services to both download and distribute “extremely harsh” child p0rnography content.
He has been sentenced to 17 years in prison, is prohibited from approaching his daughter within 500 meters and has been stripped of parental rights for 10 years.
