On May 5, 2021, the victim’s mother learned of the sexual assault of her granddaughter by her grandfather. At night, the defendant raped the child before falling asleep on the floor in the little girl’s bedroom.
In court, the minor’s grandfather confirmed that he had no memory of the events following excessive alcohol consumption at the time of the sexual assault. “If she says that something happened, it means that there was something,” admitted the sixty-year-old.
