In Écija, Spain, the family of a sexual assault victim has announced intentions to appeal to the Supreme Court after the High Court of Justice of Andalusia (TSJA) reduced the prison sentences of three defendants. 

While the TSJA upheld the facts of the case and confirmed the defendants were responsible for the assault of a young woman, it lowered the terms for two individuals from 13 years and 6 months to 7 years, and a third from 15 to 10 years. The court reached this decision by not applying the aggravating factor of joint action, as it did not classify the defendants as necessary collaborators under the Penal Code. The victim’s legal representation has rejected this ruling, maintaining that the defendants’ collective participation meets the legal requirements for joint action.
