Victims of what has been billed as the biggest ever child sex scandal in Spain are furious at a bid by the main suspect to seek legal protection for the name by which the case has become known in the media.

13.08.2010 - Fernando Baena is to be tried for almost 60 separate offences relating to events at his award-winning karate school in Las Palmas. Baena, his partner and another instructor are said to have coerced young pupils into taking part in sex sessions with adults, some of them filmed on video, over a period of nearly twenty years. Details of the alleged offences have shocked the public both here and in the rest of Spain and anger grew even further when it emerged that Baena, who has been on remand in prison since February, has applied to Spain’s Patent and Trademark Office to register the name ‘Karate Case’, with a view to licensing it for use in a film and/or book. The prospect of him cashing in on the sordid history has led a lawyer acting for dozens of alleged victims to ask the Spanish authorities to block the application.
