The National Police have arrested a 50-year-old teacher, for allegedly sexually assaulting an 8-year-old girl whilst giving private language classes to her and her sister at their home in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.

The girl’s father made an official complaint about the man, who he had hired to teach English and German to his children since November 2022, to the police on February 7th which has led to the arrest, according to an official press release.

The man, of German nationality, gave private classes to the two sisters at home, and the younger of the two told her parents that he had sexually abused her, carrying out certain actions of a sexual nature.
