Public Conviction for Rape and Abuse
February 26, 2026
The accused of rape and sexual assault against his former partner will serve ten years in prison. The Court of Appeal upheld the decision of the Criminal Court, rejecting the defendant's appeal. Their relationship began in 2020, and there were several incidents of violence, with the most severe occurring in April 2022. The complainant reported the incident and underwent medical examinations that documented injuries. The defendant claimed that the sexual contact was consensual, but the court did not accept his defense.
