Two workers in an abattoir in Catalonia alleged to have suffered unwanted sexual advances and are now appealing court decision
has acquitted a manager accused of sexual advances and using the threat of dismissal to demand sex, in a blow to a landmark legal challenge that sought to cast a spotlight on sexual abuse in the country’s meat processing industry.
The number of pigs slaughtered in Spain has soared to record levels in recent years, surpassing more than 58 million animals last year. The decision also absolved the subcontracted company, where the accused had worked, of any liability. She and another worker, who declined to speak to the Guardian and asked not to be named, filed a complaint with police in September 2020 shortly after raising the issue with the company that owns the plant and the subcontracted company. Prosecutors later accused the man of two counts of sexual harassment.
