- 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.
