Court bans playwright Ramón Paso from teaching minors amid sexual assault probe

Two Madrid courts investigating playwright and theater director Ramón Paso for sexual violence have imposed precautionary measures, including a ban on teaching minors, mandatory biweekly court appearances, a travel ban, and passport confiscation. The measures follow his arrest in May after allegedly touching a 15-year-old girl in public in Madrid. The prosecutor's office alleges Paso used violence and intimidation to turn young women into "objects of his sexual pleasure." Paso faces an open case since 2024 for alleged sexual assaults against 14 women. The courts' decisions were reported by elDiario.es, citing legal sources. The ban on teaching activities applies to both public and private settings and has been in effect since July. Paso must also surrender his passport and cannot leave Spain. The case highlights ongoing legal scrutiny of figures in the Spanish arts community.
