Overview
- Castilla y León’s high court cut from seven to four years the prison time a man must serve in Ávila before expulsion for assaulting his partner’s 10-year-old daughter, restoring the term agreed with prosecutors.
- The Audiencia de Ávila had earlier converted a 10-year prison sentence into expulsion after custody but unilaterally raised the custodial requirement to seven years, which triggered the appeal.
- Asturias’s high court annulled a five-years-and-one-day conviction against a Gijón father over alleged touching during Christmas 2022, citing the presumption of innocence, family conflict, and a lack of peripheral corroboration.
- In Torrelavega, the accused father denied abusing his daughter during the spring 2020 lockdown as the victim reaffirmed her testimony; the prosecutor keeps an eight-and-a-half-year prison request.
- The three proceedings now stand at different points in the system, with one sentence reduced on appeal, one conviction voided, and one trial ongoing in a domestic-abuse context.
