The Provincial Court of Valencia will judge next Thursday a man accused of sexually assaulting his own six-year-old granddaughter, with whom he lived with her parents in a municipality in the province.

According to the qualification of the public accusation, the events occurred on several occasions during the year 2016 when, according to the account made by the Prosecutor's Office, the man took advantage of the moments he was alone with the girl to subject her to touching and other practices of a kind sexual.

According to the account of the Prosecutor's Office provided by the Superior Court of Justice of the Valencian Community, the girl refused to do so on all occasions and tried to avoid the attacks, but the defendant told her that her parents would punish her if she told them what was happening.
