The 'almost one per day' figure refers to an exceptional recent spike (cases recorded since late July 2026, amid a migration crisis), not to a stable or long-term annual rate; the claim presents it without that temporal context.
The hard underlying data (23 complaints by 31 August 2026; 35 by 14 September 2026) corresponds to roughly 0.7 cases per day over the period, slightly below the 'almost one per day' wording, which is the prosecutor's own rounded characterization.
All located sources are news articles reporting the Ceuta prosecutor's statements and the Fiscalía's figures; the Fiscalía's own published report was not located.
El Español notes that, given the vulnerability of the victims (often migrant women), not all offences are reported, so the complaint count is a floor, not a complete measure.
