Madrid teacher arrested for alleged sexual abuse of minors

A 37-year-old mathematics teacher, identified by the initials M. F. G., has been arrested and placed in provisional custody in Madrid for the alleged sexual abuse of at least nine to twelve students aged between 12 and 15.

The investigation, led by the Family and Women's Attention Unit (UFAM), began after students reported inappropriate conduct to their current teachers. The alleged abuses occurred between 2019 and 2024, both within and outside the Mercedarias de Don Juan de Alarcón religious school, where the suspect previously worked. Some incidents reportedly took place during a summer camp.

The suspect faces charges including continuous aggravated sexual assault, child prostitution, child pornography, and child grooming. Investigators also allege he recorded some of the assaults. Police have seized various electronic devices, including mobile phones and computers, from his residence.

Notably, the teacher had a prior arrest in June 2024 for a similar alleged assault against a student at the same school. Following that incident, he was released with precautionary measures, including a restraining order, which allowed him to continue teaching at a different institution until his recent arrest on October 13.
