The Court of Almería has imposed a sentence of

four years and seven months in prison on a 23-year-old girl

who raped a friend's son, a 12-year-old boy with a recognized disability, after touching him for almost two months.

The sentence, to which EFE has had access, declares it proven that the

accused took care of her friend's minor children

when she was absent from her home in Roquetas de Mar (Almería) for academic reasons.

The ruling specifies that he carried out these tasks between September and October 26, 2021, as well as that the

victim was 12 years old

when the events occurred and that he has a recognized disability of 42% due to having borderline intelligence, developmental and language disorders. , an

autism spectrum disorder

and another attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

It specifies that when the child's sister was taking a nap, the accused

"seeked intimacy"

with the victim, pulled down his pants and began to touch his genitals, something that was repeated "almost every afternoon, from Monday to Friday."

Thus, until during the afternoon of October 26, after having smoked hashish, he undressed the child and, after acting as on previous occasions, raped him.

"These behaviors have caused emotional, physical and behavioral situations

in the minor

and symptoms compatible with them, recommending specialized psychological treatment," the ruling states.

Due to these facts, the accused has been sentenced to four years and seven

months in prison for a continuous crime of sexual assault

with penetration of a minor under 16 years of age, for which a restraining order of 500 meters is also imposed on her with respect to the victim for six years.

The magistrates apply two mitigating circumstances in their case;

the first, that of

being under the effects of toxic substances

since they believe that having smoked hashish "very slightly" affected their intellectual and volitional abilities, and that of psychic alteration, since they have been diagnosed with "slight mental retardation." and a degree of disability of 36%.

She has also been disqualified from exercising parental authority,

guardianship, conservatorship, guardianship or foster care for four years

and from exercising any profession or trade, whether paid or unpaid, that involves regular and direct contact with minors for 10 years.

In addition, he has been placed on probation for five years from his release from prison, and has been ordered to pay compensation to the attacked minor of 10,000 euros.
