Dani Alves did not use a condom and my client is receiving treatment for an infectious disease, says a lawyer

Dani Alves remains in prison and without bail – awaiting his trial – after his alleged sexual assault on a 23-year-old girl on December 30 at the Sutton nightclub in Barcelona. An arrest that took place almost a week ago and that day after day the pieces of the puzzle against the footballer are fitting together, since there is not only the testimony of the victim, but also that of the witnesses, the recordings of the security cameras of the discotheque, the statements of the workers and that of the chef and friend of Alves, the medical report and the initialed certificate of the Mossos d’Esquadra, published daily ACEfrom Spain.

All or almost all of them had spoken out, but the one who has now done so publicly has been the victim’s lawyer, Ester García López, who in statements for the Brazilian media OUOL has indicated that the player did not use a condom in the alleged rape, and that his client had to use medication to prevent the risk of a possible sexually transmitted infection.

Regarding the state of the 23-year-old, Ester admits that she has been undergoing different treatments: “She is receiving psychological support through a public entity specialized in treating victims of violence. The hospital has sent him a complete treatment aimed at avoiding any type of infectious disease, since he did not use a condom. He also has a pharmacological treatment with anxiolytics to be able to sleep ”.

The lawyer has also confessed to Talyta Vespa and Thiago Arantes that the Barcelona sexual crimes unit acted very quickly on the night that the events occurred, and that has helped her case a lot: “Luckily, she left the disco by ambulance and She went directly to the Central Unit for Sexual Assaults. So, unlike most victims of sexual violence, who, because of her trauma, wash her underwear, she didn’t have time to think about it. She was quickly attended to, leaving the evidence there ”.

That night, the victim did not drink alcohol, as Ester has assured the aforementioned medium, and also “she offered a concise statement, without any contradiction, and that is rare. Many women suffer post-traumatic stress and forget details, they remember later, and that does not invalidate the truth. But in her case, that didn’t happen. She remembered everything from beginning to end.”

An ‘exemplary’ case for the lawyer

Regarding the case itself, the lawyer has been very clear, and believes that “the possibility of flight of Mr. Alves, who has a favorable economic condition and dual nationality, were decisive for his arrest.”

Finally, he considers the beginning of this case “exemplary”, especially for the way he treated the accused. “There are some public figures who believe they are above good and evil, who think no one would ever believe a girl like my client. There are many women who do not report when it comes to a public figure due to the difficulty on an emotional and judicial level. But I believe that in this case, however it ends (I hope it ends with a conviction), prison without bail is already exemplary,” he concluded.

Alves passed the victim’s side later

After the alleged sexual assault, the 23-year-old was preparing to leave in tears, which caught the attention of one of the nightclub’s doormen, who quickly called Robert Massanet, the manager of the room, who was with the victim. for several minutes, as reported by Mayka Navarro in The vanguard.

“I had no comfort. I asked him: ‘But what has happened to you? Tell me what happened to you! You have to calm down.’ But she was very overwhelmed ”, he pointed out to the Mossos. But meanwhile, at that moment, Dani Alves appeared down the same corridor, who almost brushed past them to quickly leave the club. A moment in which he “had to see her crying”, as one of those present said. (D)
