The woman who accused the former deputy operational director of the National Police, José Ángel González, of alleged sexual assault has requested that a judge ensure full confidentiality of related evidence due to concerns about her personal safety following leaks.
In Spain, the woman who filed a complaint against José Ángel González, the former deputy operational director (DAO) of the National Police, for alleged sexual assault, has asked the judge to maintain complete confidentiality of the audio recordings, call logs, and message screenshots related to her case. Her attorney, Jorge Piedrafita, emphasized the severe implications of leaked personal information, which have put her safety at risk, requiring police protection.
The call for confidentiality comes amid growing tensions within the police force and increasing public attention surrounding the 'DAO case.' There are concerns within police leadership, evident from messages in their communication channels, about the potential for sensitive information to be disclosed publicly, threatening the integrity of police operations and the safety of involved personnel. This situation raises questions about the internal culture of the police regarding the treatment of sexual assault allegations and the protection of whistleblowers.
Moreover, the request for privacy highlights the broader implications of how personal data is handled in high-profile cases involving law enforcement. The emphasis on preserving confidentiality aims not only to protect the individual involved but also to set a precedent for how similar cases may be treated in the future, fostering a safer environment for victims to come forward without fear of retribution or additional harm from leaks.
