The Criminal Chamber of the Supreme Court has confirmed the year prison sentence imposed on a former priest for crimes of sexual abuse of 7 minors who were studying at the seminary of the Diocese of Ciudad Real, where the accused was a trainer for the seminarians. . The Chamber thus rejects the appeal filed by the former priest against the ruling of the Superior Court of Justice of Castilla La Mancha, which increased to 30 years the sentence of 22 years and 8 months that the Provincial Court of Ciudad Real had imposed on him. In addition, it confirms a fine of 52,920 euros and compensation of 2,000 euros to each of the victims. It was not a mere game The sentence, whose speaker was Judge Juan Ramón Berdugo, rejects the appellant's argument that the alleged conduct responded to a mere game, ensuring that his actions "consisted of skillful acts to attack the sexual indemnity of minors.
These alleged games were carried out, for example, in the pool with episodes of drowning where supposedly accidental rubbing or touching occurred, but which "really suppose that the accused grabbed the minors' genitals, being repeated and prolonged behaviors over time, throughout the bathing season and affecting several supervised students.” “Touching a minor's genitals so that next year they Bangladesh Email List spend eggs' on the course cannot be understood as an educational technique” Other episodes of "obvious sexual nature" occurred in the rooms , when the priest, under the pretext of doing some cures, forced the boys to lower their underwear to feel their genitals and penis: "Touch the minor's genitals so that the "next year 'he will throw eggs' at the course cannot be understood as an educational technique," the judges affirm.
Likewise, the Chamber considers that “making minors undress cannot be considered a mere test of trust and acts of masturbation or contemplation of minors' penis clearly violate their sexual freedom and indemnity.” Added to this is the aggravating circumstance of prevalence with respect to 4 of the 7 victims when it is confirmed that the former priest took advantage of his position as a trainer in the seminary to perpetrate the crimes, with all that this entails: due to the age of the victims, 13 years, and because of the setting where the events took place, in a boarding school regime and subjected to an environment of discipline. "The taking advantage of this situation is inseparable from the consideration of the victims as vulnerable," the order says. Spain a strange country. The church does not investigate his sexual abuse They were not inventions of the victims The Chamber considers the victims' testimonies to be credible, corroborated by witnesses and experts, and rejects that they orchestrated such a damaging maneuver against the accused.
