National Police in Almeria have arrested a man in connection with the alleged sexual abuse of his 17 month old baby.
Doctors at the Hospital Torrecárdenas activated standard protocols for possible abuse after the baby showed recognisable signs of violence and the police, judicial authorities and Child Protection Service were notified.
An investigation has begun into the family situation of the accused and as an interim measure, the child has been placed under the guardianship of the Junta de Andalucia.
