Overview
- Three separate rulings published this Thursday produced new convictions and a plea-based sentence in cases from the Canary Islands, Galicia and Mallorca.
- The Tribunal Superior de Justicia de Canarias sentenced a man to 13 years for entering a 73-year-old woman's home in Arona in May 2018, repeatedly raping her and stealing €3,500 and jewelry; the victim later died of causes unrelated to the attack.
- The Audiencia Provincial de Orense gave an eight-year prison term for repeated sexual assaults of his partner's daughter on November 10, 2024, ordered 15 years of disqualification from work with minors, a 13-year no-contact order and possible ten-year expulsion after serving two thirds, and the judgement can still be appealed.
- In Mallorca a hotel animation chief accepted a plea and was sentenced to two years in prison, a €3,600 fine and a suspended term conditioned on three years of good behavior after he paid €3,500 in civil compensation and was banned from working with minors for nine years.
- A separate trial in the Audiencia de Palma remains open over an alleged October 2021 rape, with the prosecution seeking six years in prison and €10,000 in compensation and the victim giving sworn testimony that the court is weighing alongside forensic and psychological reports.
