Former Police Chief Faces Judge Over Sexual Assault Allegations

The former head of Spain’s National Police, José Ángel González, is facing serious allegations of rape and attempted intimidation following a whistleblower complaint. The case, involving a female officer who claims she was sexually assaulted in April 2025, is set to unfold in court this week with González’s testimony expected to be a key moment. The situation has already triggered significant upheaval within the National Police force.

The accusations against González stem from a detailed account provided by the accuser, who alleges a violent encounter took place in his office on April 23rd, 2025. Crucially, the officer stated she recorded the incident, fearing she would be discredited and labeled as ‘jealous and dishonest’ by superiors. Legal representatives for the officer emphasized the need for evidence, highlighting the potential for the police force to retaliate against her. González, who resigned shortly after the complaint was filed, has strongly denied the allegations, claiming the accuser is attempting to frame him. The judge’s investigation will now focus on examining the evidence presented by both sides, including the recording and any corroborating testimony, to determine the truth behind this explosive accusation.
