The TSJ of C-LM reduces the sentence from nine to eight years in prison in a case of sexual assault by the law of yes is yes

TOLEDO, 18 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Superior Court of Justice of Castilla-La Mancha (TSJCM) has reduced the sentence from nine to eight years in prison in a case of sexual assault in Ciudad Real by virtue of the application of the Law on Sexual Freedom, known as the law of ' only yes is yes'.

Specifically, as regional government sources have explained to Europa Press, this case was brought before the Provincial Court of Ciudad Real and was subsequently notified to the Superior Court of Justice of Castilla-La Mancha (TSJCM), where, by virtue of the application of the 'yes is yes' law, this one-year reduction has taken place.

In a press conference, the Minister of Equality and spokesperson for the Government of Castilla-La Mancha, Blanca Fernández, has warned of this first revision of the lower sentence in the region, taking the opportunity to reiterate her request to the Minister of Equality, Irene Montero, to "react" so as not to "allow any rapist to benefit from this rule" and to continue "harming" the victims.

Blanca Fernández has reiterated that, in her opinion, this is "a magnificent law" but she has considered that "it is worth it" that it be reviewed in regard to the penalties since "nobody in this country wants to lower the penalties for violators."

"If we agree on that, we are going to do it as soon as possible because it is a magnificent law," he pointed out, considering that these reductions are "a new re-victimization" of the victims that "they do not deserve."
