Prison for former deputy close to Yolanda Díaz for sexual assault

The former deputy close to Yolandas Díaz continues to make headlines. Xosé Xabier Ron Fernández, who was a deputy and former colleague of the second vice president of the Government in the Galician Parliament, has a new update.

Judge Ana López-Suevos, head of the Court of Instruction number 1 of Santiago de Compostela, has ordered provisional detention for Ron. This is due to his alleged involvement in a sexual assault on a minor.

The decision was made after his arrest last Tuesday. Also after the searches conducted at the Breamo Secondary Education Institute in Pontedeume (La Coruña), where he works as a French teacher.

The magistrate made this decision after the former deputy of the Galician Parliament appeared before the court this Thursday at 8:30. Ron had spent the night in police custody at the Milladoiro Civil Guard station.

The complaint was filed by the mother of the minor who, it is alleged, was the victim of the sexual assault. As a result, the court ordered the search of two homes belonging to Yolanda Díaz's former colleague. Also the seizure of his technological equipment, including his mobile phone and computer, in the presence of the investigated.

During the inspection, the Civil Guard's Judicial Police tried to determine if these devices were for the exclusive use of Xabier Ron. However, the school management ruled out this possibility, indicating that the computers were available for use by all teachers.

Meanwhile, the Department of Education of the Xunta de Galicia opened a disciplinary file against Ron, who is already listed as investigated in the judicial process.

Additionally, Judge López-Suevos decided that Ron should not continue teaching at the school. This will allow another teacher to be assigned to ensure the continuity of the French classes, the subject he taught.

This teacher was a member of the Galician Parliament as a deputy of the Alternativa Galega de Esquerda (AGE) group between 2012 and 2016. Previously, he ran as a candidate for the Mayor of Santiago de Compostela for Izquierda Unida (IU) in the municipal elections of 2007 and 2011.

After leaving active politics, Ron dedicated himself to teaching, first in the institutes of Touro and Ames, in the province of La Coruña. This was before being assigned to the IES Breamo in Pontedeume. In Ames, he worked until last school year and, according to sources, he requested the transfer to the IES Breamo, obtaining the position through a public competition.
