Judicial rulings regarding minors in Spain and Argentina

Overview

Judicial proceedings in Spain and Argentina have addressed various cases involving crimes against minors and juvenile legal frameworks.

In Spain, the Supreme Court upheld an 18-year prison sentence for a man convicted of the continuous sexual abuse of two girls in the Canary Islands. Additionally, a court in Málaga sentenced a couple to seven years in prison each for the attempted homicide of their newborn baby, who had been abandoned near a train station.

In Argentina, the Court of Appeals in Rosario ratified a new Juvenile Penal Regime. This ruling establishes the minimum age of criminal responsibility at 14 years, rejecting legal challenges that argued the law was unconstitutional or violated international standards.
