Logroño, (EFE) for a crime of sexual assault in which the sentence imposed is reduced by applying Law 10/2022 on the comprehensive guarantee of sexual freedom as it is more favorable to the convicted person.
The sentences handed down by the two judicial bodies of La Rioja were before the new Law on crimes against Sexual Freedom came into force.
It has been the Supreme Court in the appeal against the Judgment issued by the Civil and Criminal Chamber of the Superior Court of Justice of La Rioja (TSJR) that has applied the new legislation, the TSJR reported this Wednesday, in a note.
The High Court reduces from 12 to 9 years in prison the sentence imposed on a man who sexually assaulted a woman, after putting a knife to her neck, in a wasteland in La Rioja, by applying the new regulations that are more beneficial.
The Chamber explains that the reformed legislation establishes a range that oscillates between 7 and 15 years, the same maximum as the previous regulation, but points out that the floor, on the other hand, is significantly lower, in part, “a logical consequence of the unification of the previous abuses with sexual assaults”.
Although it lowers the sentence for the crime of sexual assault, the Chamber maintains the sentence of 1 year in prison for a crime of obstruction of justice, so that the new sentence for the two crimes is, finally, 10 years in prison. EFE
