Second Woman Accuses Former Deputy Iñigo Errejón of Rape Amid Ongoing Legal Battles

In a troubling escalation, Spanish media outlets El País and Cadena SER reported on Wednesday that a second woman has filed a lawsuit against former deputy Iñigo Errejón, alleging rape. This new accusation comes as Errejón awaits trial for a previous complaint filed by actress Elisa Mouliáa, who accused him of sexual assault. The latest complainant has sought to be classified as a protected witness, citing fears of retaliation. It has been disclosed that she is a well-known actress who first met Errejón back in 2021. According to documents obtained by SER, their relationship began on Instagram in September 2021, and continued until January 2022. However, the complainant has reported multiple incidents of nonconsensual sexual acts occurring on October 16, 2021. Instances outlined in the complaint reveal a disturbing pattern of behavior. After meeting at a wedding where both had consumed alcohol and drugs, Errejón allegedly forced the victim to perform oral sex in a venue's bathroom. Following this, the situation escalated during a taxi ride to his home, where he again allegedly forced sexual acts against her will, despite her screaming for him to stop. The distressing account details that the sexual assault lasted several minutes before he ceased the act. The complaint further illustrates Errejón's controlling nature, noting that he monitored the victim’s whereabouts, attire, and even the color of her nails. In the aftermath of their relationship, she has suffered panic attacks and has sought psychological and psychiatric help. This new lawsuit adds to the troubling narrative surrounding Errejón, who is already facing serious allegations from another actress, Elisa Mouliaá. She accused him of sexual assault during a gathering in September 2021, stating that he forcibly kissed her in an elevator and later locked her in a room where he groped her and showed her his genitalia. Mouliaá initially withdrew her accusation but later decided to proceed with it, claiming the prosecution's request for acquittal as her catalyst for renewed action. The latest developments raise significant questions about the implications of such allegations for both the accused and the broader political landscape. As the cases progress through the judicial system, public discourse surrounding consent, power dynamics, and the treatment of sexual assault claims continue to evolve, echoing throughout Spain and beyond.
