Paula Bonet's stalker released, artist reports gallery attack

Valencian painter and writer Paula Bonet has reported a new act of vandalism against her gallery, ten days after her stalker was released from prison. The stalker, who had been in pretrial detention since late July, was freed after a court ruled he suffers from a "psychic anomaly." Bonet, who first reported the stalker in 2019 and previously had police protection, took to social media to denounce the attack, stating she felt "obligated" to do so for her "physical integrity" despite having thought she would never have to again. She now relies on a network of friends, neighbors, and acquaintances for safety.
