The parties reached an agreement in the Second Section of the Provincial Court, and the convicted man will not go to prison on the condition that he does not commit any further offenses in the next three years. He will pay €7,500, of which he has already paid €3,500. The prosecution initially sought a nine-year prison sentence for the crime, but before the trial could take place, and thanks to this agreement, he will avoid prison time because he has no prior criminal record and the sentence is less than the minimum required for incarceration in these cases. Furthermore, the man is prohibited from approaching the victim for the next five years and has committed to paying the remaining compensation.</p>]]></description>

He claimed he was in a romantic relationship with the 13-year-old at the time of the alleged incident, and that their sexual relations were always consensual. He appeared at the trial held Thursday in the Second Section of the Provincial Court of the Balearic Islands, where he attributed the accusation to the influence of the girl's mother, who was unaware of the relationship. "There was not a single time I forced her," he asserted. The victim, for her part, denied having a romantic relationship with the alleged perpetrator, stating that it was only a friendship. The young woman, who recently turned 18, explained that on the day of the incident, she went to the man's home for help with her homework and that the sexual assault occurred shortly afterward. "We were on the sofa and he jumped on top of me. I froze," she said. The prosecution is requesting a seven-year prison sentence and €4,000 in compensation as the alleged perpetrator of a sexual abuse crime. According to the prosecutor's indictment, the events date back to August 2021, when the accused contacted the victim, who was 13 years old at the time, through a well-known social network. Despite knowing her age, the man maintained contact with her. In May 2022, he offered to help her with her English homework and invited her to his home in Palma. There, after they finished their schoolwork, he began to subject the minor to inappropriate touching and then raped her. The victim, deeply traumatized, told her mother what had happened a month later, and they reported the incident to the National Police. </p>]]></description>

During this period, the defendant allegedly raped her at least twenty times. The prosecution is requesting a 15-year prison sentence. In addition to the prison term, the prosecution is seeking €3,000 in compensation for the victim for the emotional distress and lasting trauma caused. The prosecutor's report also details how the man threatened his stepdaughter to prevent her from revealing the abuse, telling her that if she told anyone, they would think she was "crazy." </p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p><img src="https://static1.ara.cat/clip/657196c8-8bf1-4f06-9779-4fd6e032da8d_16-9-aspect-ratio_default_0.jpg" /></p><p>The prosecution is seeking a 15-year prison sentence for a man accused of raping a woman with a severe intellectual disability in an abandoned building in Manacor in 2021. According to the indictment, the victim—who was pregnant with the defendant's child at the time, following a previous relationship—was tricked into accompanying him to the location. The trial will take place next Tuesday in the Second Section of the Balearic Islands Provincial Court. The prosecution has charged the defendant with sexual assault with the aggravating circumstance of gender-based violence and is requesting, in addition to the prison sentence, ten years of supervised release, a restraining order prohibiting him from approaching or communicating with the victim for 20 years, and €15,000 in compensation. According to the prosecution's account, on July 3, 2021, at 9:00 p.m., the woman met the defendant at a bar in Manacor. He allegedly asked her to accompany him "to a place" under the pretext of giving her an object, and thus led her to a small, abandoned building. Once there, the man allegedly began kissing and caressing her. When the woman refused to have sex, the prosecution maintains that he immobilized her and threw her onto an abandoned mattress to rape her. The document also includes insults that the defendant allegedly directed at her, such as "fucking Spanish woman" or "fucking fat woman," and expressions with which he compared her to a prostitute. The prosecution specifies that the victim had "a borderline intellectual disability that reduced her capacity for decision-making and defense," a factor that aggravated her vulnerability to the assault. After the events, the woman allegedly developed post-traumatic symptoms, including anxiety, recurring nightmares, and a rejection of her own body. </p>]]></description>
