A 45-year-old man has been sentenced to 11 years in prison for sexually abusing his niece. The girl was abused from when she was seven years old until she was nine.
The man must compensate the victim 25,000 euros for the moral damage caused. He will not be able to approach or communicate with the victim for 13 years. The initial sentence was appealed by the defense, which requested acquittal.. The court has emphasized that it is not reasonable to require the victim to provide a detailed and detailed account of the situation that she. reveals. Nor can it be required that he knew from the beginning that what he was suffering was sexual abuse. The girl lived with two different foster families, although on weekends she went to visit her grandfather. Her uncle, the convicted man, was the one who picked her up and took her back. The facts came to light in May 2018 when the victim, about to turn nine, told her foster family about the abuse suffered by her.
