A DISABLED child was allegedly sexually assaulted by a 67-year-old man in a public toilet in Spain.
As reported by the National Police, the teenager who suffers from learning difficulties had been using a public toilet at the Santander train station in Cantabria. The man had seen the young boy leave the restroom, forcing him back inside into a cubicle. It was here that he ordered the teenager to perform oral sex on him.
