<\/div>\n

The Second Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice ruled that judges must apply standards of reasonableness when determining whether the length of a sentence exceeds reasonable limits in interpreting criminal law with respect to the crime of <\/span>sexual assault<\/span><\/i> and the crime of <\/span>rape. <\/span><\/i> <\/span><\/p>\n

In this regard, the aforementioned court, by Judgment No. 001-022-2021-SSEN-01156 dated September 30, 2021, ex officio overturned the contested judgment with respect to the criminal sentence imposed on the defendant of 20 years of imprisonment, modified said sentence, and imposed a sentence of 10 years of imprisonment. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

According to the ruling, \u201cincest\u201d is an aggravating circumstance in both the <\/span>sexual assault<\/span><\/i> as well as for the <\/span>rape<\/span><\/i>, so that for an act to be classified as incest, it may be classified as <\/span>incestuous sexual assault<\/span><\/i> or as <\/span>incestuous sexual assault.<\/span><\/i> <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

 The ruling emphasizes that when the <\/span>rape<\/span><\/i> is committed as \u201cincest\u201d (Article 332-2 of the Penal Code), the maximum penalty established for the crime of <\/span>rape, <\/span><\/i>by applying Articles 331 and 332-1 of the Penal Code in conjunction (20 years of imprisonment); and that in cases involving <\/span>sexual assault <\/span><\/i>that does not involve <\/span>rape<\/span><\/i> The applicable penalty is 10 years of imprisonment, as established by Article 333 of the aforementioned Code.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

 The decision was issued by Judge Francisco Jerez Mena, who presides over the chamber, and the other judges <\/span>Fran Soto S\u00e1nchez and Mois\u00e9s Ferrer Landr\u00f3n.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n
