Sexual assault and gender violence legal proceedings

Overview

Legal actions regarding sexual assault and gender-based violence have been reported in Lisbon and the Lleida region. In Lisbon, a 32-year-old man was placed in preventive detention following his arrest by the Polícia Judiciária for two aggravated sexual abuse crimes against a 22-year-old woman with a congenital genetic condition.

In Spain, prosecutors in Lleida are seeking a prison sentence of more than 33 years for a man accused of domestic abuse, sexual assault, and forcing his partner to consume narcotics during 2022. Other recent judicial proceedings in the same region resulted in suspended sentences and supervised release for various sexual assault cases. Data from the General Council of the Judiciary shows a 2.6% increase in gender violence reports in the Lleida region compared to the previous year.
