Investigation Launched Against Jérica Mayor Jorge Peiró for Alleged Sexual Assault

A court in Segorbe is currently investigating Jorge Peiró, the mayor of the Castellón village of Jérica, who is facing serious allegations involving two counts of sexual assault against underage victims. This information was confirmed by the Higher Court of Justice of the Valencian Community (TSJCV). The investigation, which has been in progress for several months, reflects the court's commitment to addressing allegations of such gravity. The presiding judge from Instruction number 1 in Segorbe has already imposed precautionary measures that include a prohibition of communication and a mandatory distance from the two young complainants. These measures remain in effect as the investigation continues. The case has garnered significant attention due to the nature of the allegations and the position held by Peiró in the local community. The implications of this investigation extend beyond the legal ramifications for the mayor and could potentially impact public trust in local governance. As the legal proceedings unfold, the community and observers await further developments in this troubling scenario. Related Sources: • Source 1 • Source 2
