I was reading in Parque de Maria Luisa today when a guy sat on the bench I was on and asked for the time in a Spanish language. He may have asked for the time in his language to check if I was a tourist.
It took me a few minutes to sense something was wrong especially because there were many other benches he could have sat on so I took a photo. This is when I saw his penis and that he was touching himself. I was really disturbed and scared.
I didn’t want to escalate the situation in case he attacked me so I calmly packed up and found a woman to sit next to get her help to call the police. But she was French. I tried to call the police but accidentally called the local number (092) instead of the emergency.
I went to the closest national police station and I tried to make a report at the police station with the photo/video but they said it’s not a crime unless it’s around minors/children. They didn’t even ask for a copy of the photo. I’m really disappointed that this isn’t considered a crime. I was having a really great time during my first time in Spain, and I wasn’t expecting this response from the police.
I found out later that he approached another girl travelling by herself in the same area an hour before and asked for the time as well.
I was hoping they can keep a record in case it happens again but this did not happen. The next best thing I can do is put a warning for others visiting Seville.
Please watch out for a man in his 30’s, blue eyes, with a goatie/beard, carries a red bum bag and asks for the time. Please leave straight away. I have attached a video of him.

It’s a crime, police probably saw you where a tourist and didn’t give a fuck to do a report, fucked up. Im so sorry you experienced this in my country.
Spanish here. The police is useless.
I was walking home on Sunday and there was a man sitting on a bench and his lady was squating in a dress, and the bench was slightly elevated and I could see him playing with her…. I dropped my sunglasses and jaw. I couldnt hear what she said but she must have seen me cause they scrammed

My gf had the same experience in the metro, he did his business and nobody cared. He dropped in the next station without any issues, she also called the police but they didn’t care.
Da grima…puto sinverguenza de cojones
Que puto cerdo. 🤢 Gracias por compartir.
Wait so it’s not a crime to masturbate in public, what a weird country smh
The problem is not fapping outdoors, it’s the reason why he’s fapping. Forget the goatie, the first thing they do is shaving and changing haircut. Police will match facial treats against its database, I hope…
I dont see nothing. But you can help to end It with your mouth
Sadly it’s true, despite what others are saying it’s only a crime when it’s in front of minors or disabled people.
They (police) might be nice and turn around and “scare” him, but nothing serious can happen.
Yo creo que solo se toca los hvs por aburrimiento no se que crimen
