Valentina Gilabert Clarifies Personal Forgiveness and Conditions of Her Attacker’s Release

Denying any legal pardon, the model affirms that the juvenile court’s conditional freedom measures for her attacker remain in force

Overview

  • Gilabert published a video on July 29 to state she forgave Marianne Gonzaga only personally and did not drop legal charges
  • A specialized juvenile court granted Gonzaga conditional freedom on July 23 after a plea-bargaining process without objection from the Public Ministry
  • Gonzaga’s two-year, eight-month and 24-day sentence continues under a regime requiring mental health counselling, social reintegration activities and other court-ordered obligations
  • The court has warned that any breach of these conditions will result in Gonzaga’s return to preventive internment
  • A 750,000-peso reparations agreement negotiated by the parties covers Gilabert’s medical expenses and did not influence the judge’s decision on supervised release
