Carlos Cuadrado 'Lucho' and Víctor Rodríguez 'Viti', the two former Arandinaplayers sentenced to 9 years for sexual assault on a minor under 15 years of age in 2017, have decided not to exhaust the term given by the Provincial Court of Burgos for their entry into prison and have determined to do so voluntarily in the prison of Lugo, where they are since last Friday, April 21.

In December 2019, the Audiencia de Burgos sentenced each of the three former players of the Arandina Club de Fútbol – Carlos Cuadrado "Lucho", Víctor Rodríguez "Viti" and Raúl Calvo – to 38 years in prison for the sexual assault of a minor on November 24, 2017.

However, when reviewing the sentence, the Superior Court of Justice of Castilla y León acquitted Calvo and reduced the sentence to Cuadrado to four years in prison and Rodríguez to three years by qualifying the facts of sexual abuse and not of aggression, since there was no intimidation.

The "proven facts" of the sentence of the Arandina Case: "He crossed his arms and did not know how to react"

Subsequently, in November 2022, the Supreme Court reviewed the matter again and raised the sentence, in this case for sexual assault, as the crime of sexual abuse had disappeared, to nine years in prison for each of the convicted, a sentence one year less than what would have corresponded to them before the entry into force of the so-called law of only yes is yes.

The lawyer of one of the young men, Rafael Uriarte, explained that the two convicts wanted to enter the same prison to spend this "complicated trance" together.

The events that led to the conviction occurred in November 2017 when a teenager climbed the apartment they shared in Aranda de Duero, where they played for the local football club, Arandina.

The father of the victim denounced what happened almost 20 days later and the judge decreed the entry into provisional detention of the three players involved in the sexual assault of the minor, to which was added in the case of one of them, the youngest, the accusation of having later maintained a sexual relationship with the minor in another room of the house.
