Spain’s High Courts and Peru’s Judiciary Finalize Lengthy Sentences in Sexual Violence Cases

Appellate rulings relied on corroborated victim accounts, with supervision and no‑contact orders to protect survivors.

Overview

  • The Spanish Supreme Court upheld 11 years and 11 months for a mother who prostituted her 13‑year‑old daughter and 10 years for the man who paid for sex, citing video statements, witnesses and signed receipts.
  • The ruling confirms prior reductions by Castilla‑La Mancha’s high court and maintains long bans on contact, including an 18‑year restraining order against the mother.
  • Madrid’s high court ratified seven years in prison for a boss who assaulted a subordinate in 2019, adding seven and a half years of supervised liberty and a nine‑year no‑contact order.
  • The Madrid judges said the victim’s delay in reporting until after leaving the job did not undermine her credibility, noting a precise and consistent account.
  • In Peru, courts sentenced Omar Acha Peña to 20 years, 11 months and 2 days for aggravated rape of a 16‑year‑old with 10,000 soles in reparations, and gave Iyoel Castillo Novillo 10 years and 8 months for attempted rape from 2020, ordering 20,000 soles and noting his 2025 capture.
