A 35-year-old doctor has been detained as a suspect in at least two cases of sexual assault allegedly committed at a health center in Cullera. The police operation began after a woman filed a complaint at the local barracks, stating she experienced sexual actions by the doctor while seeking urgent care for general discomfort. The doctor reportedly justified his actions as necessary for medical attention.
Investigation Uncovers Second Victim
Following the initial testimony, agents from the Cullera police station launched an investigation that led them to a second woman who reported a similar experience with the same doctor.
