They were called "La Manada de Chubut" and their trial has sparked protests after an agreement with the Prosecutor's Office has allowed none of those accused of the alleged group rape of a teenager in 2012 to go to prison, Clarín reports . After reaching an agreement, the prosecutor in the Fernando Rivarola case and the defense of three of the defendants, the defendants will face an abbreviated trial that provides for a maximum sentence of three years in suspension and will avoid jail. The other two defendants had already been exonerated.

The Prosecutor's Office has lowered the accusation of "abuse with carnal access" to "simple sexual abuse", which provides for lesser penalties, and frames the events in a "willful act of sexual relief" of the accused. The brief acknowledges that the victim was in "a state of semi-consciousness."

All of the defendants in the case were minors at the time of the events, and they all belong to well-known families linked to very powerful politicians and businessmen. The girl was 16 years old when, presumably, the five young men forced her to have sexual relations, at the home of the grandson of a former governor of the Chubut province in Playa Unión .

The girl's friends rescued her after the attack, and some time later she even had to move after denouncing threats from the families of the young people so that she would not tell anything of what happened. His complaint came from a publication on social networks.

After the controversy over the consideration of the prosecutor in the brief, the Public Prosecutor's Office of Chubut has issued a statement explaining the choice of the "legal terms": "In simple words, sexual abuse is precisely a conduct that the sexual relief of the author knowing that he does it without the consent of the victim, that he is going to commit a sexual attack, that it is a crime, and conscious of them he advances without consideration of the damage that he is going to cause in this. That is intentional " .
