The rapist who was released by the Court of Lérida last Monday after reducing his sentence in application of the law of

only yes is yes

presents a high risk of recidivism, according to the prison services of the Generalitat of Catalonia, which have alerted the

Mossos d 'Esquadra

and the

Prosecutor

's Office for his release.

According to prison sources, the rapist,

Daniel PG

, left the Ponent de Lérida prison last Monday, where he was serving a sentence, after the Court reduced the

15-year sentence

imposed on him in 2010 for two to nine and a half.

sexual assaults and a robbery with violence.

The inmate, who is prohibited from approaching the victims for the next 10 years, has not enjoyed any permission or release since he entered prison, in 2008, since it is considered that he continues to present a high risk of recidivism.

In addition, according to sources close to the case, the rapist had already served a sentence for other crimes against sexual freedom that he committed when he was a minor.

Given the release of the rapist, the Department of Justice has activated the protocol provided in the case of inmates assessed as high risk who are released, the result of a protocol signed with the Superior Prosecutor of Catalonia in 2009.

For this reason, the prison services of the Generalitat have informed the Public Ministry and the Mossos of the release of the rapist, to which the Prosecutor's Office may order the actions it deems appropriate, usually the non-invasive surveillance of the convicted person.

In parallel, the Department of Justice's Secretariat for Penal Measures is working to establish extraordinary protection mechanisms for the rapist's victims.

While he was in prison, the convicted man agreed to participate in training programs and scheduled itineraries for the rehabilitation of sexual offenders, but the prison services conclude that he continues to present a high risk of recidivism.

The Court of Lleida agreed on Monday the "immediate release" of the convicted person, whose defense had requested that his sentence be reviewed due to the entry into force of the law of

only yes is yes

, which lowers the minimum sentences for sexual assault, at the conclusion that by the principle of retroactivity of the laws the most beneficial legislation should be applied.

According to prison reports, Daniel PG, is a sexual predator by the book with a record of

17 sexual assaults

.

The fear now is that what he experienced in 2008 will happen again, when it took him only a month to rape again after leaving prison, reports

.

The reports already alerted then of the high risk of recidivism of this sexual offender because he was not rehabilitated.
