The Madrid Prosecutor's Office has officially requested the acquittal of Íñigo Errejón in response to allegations of sexual assault made by actress Elisa Mouliaá. The Prosecutor stated that there was consent involved in the reported incident and emphasized that the sexual encounter concluded after Mouliaá expressed her desire to stop. Consequently, this marks a critical shift in the judicial proceedings, as previous statements had allowed for the possibility of charges against Errejón.

In its conclusions sent to the presiding judge Alfonso Carretero, the Prosecutor’s Office maintains that the events as described do not constitute a crime, thereby aligning with its earlier decision from November to refrain from accusing Errejón. This has significant implications for the public perception of the case, as it suggests that the legal system found no basis for the allegations. The move to drop charges could indicate a broader narrative regarding the handling of such sensitive cases within Spain's judicial framework.

Errejón, who previously served as a spokesperson for the political group Sumar, is set to appear before the court to confirm his acquittal, marking a key moment in a case that has received notable media attention. The decision of the Prosecutor's Office could set a precedent for future cases involving accusations of sexual misconduct, particularly in how consent is interpreted and handled by authorities. This may also influence discussions on the protections and rights of those involved in such legal proceedings.
