Regional Spanish Courts Finalize Sentences in Teen Assault, Stepdaughter Abuse and Domestic Violence Cases

Regional courts are finalizing punishments for sexual and gender‑based crimes through confirmations plus plea agreements.

Overview

  • The High Court of Castilla y León upheld a 13‑year prison term for a 35‑year‑old who groomed a 15‑year‑old via Instagram, with added penalties including 15 years no‑approach, 10 years supervised release, 18 years disqualification from work with minors, €2,000 compensation, and possible expulsion after two‑thirds served.
  • A cassation appeal to the Supreme Court is available in the Castilla y León case following the confirmation of the Soria provincial court’s ruling.
  • In Ourense, Penal Court 1 sentenced a man for insulting and assaulting his partner to 40 days of community service or six months’ prison if refused, plus a two‑year weapons ban, an 18‑month restraining order at 150 meters, and €180 in damages.
  • A separate Ourense case ended in a plea admitting habitual abuse over 15 years, resulting in a suspended 1 year 9 months’ prison term, 60 days of community service, a 3 years 9 months no‑contact order at 200 meters, a five‑year weapons ban, and €2,000 compensation.
  • In Palma, a defendant accepted four years in prison for continued sexual abuse of his 12‑year‑old stepdaughter from 2020 to March 2021 after paying €10,000 in reparations, with prosecutors reducing an initial 12‑year request due to damage repair and procedural delays.
