Verdict
   Sentence was pronounced. The animals in the herd were sentenced to nine years for sexual abuse and not for rape.

   In Spain - just like here in Portugal and in my country - the police recommend that faced with an assault to steal do not oppose resistance to the aggressor and the matter will end sooner and better for the victim, but in the case of a sexual assault it is necessary to fight and risk the worst because otherwise it is as if you consented to have sex with the attacker. This is the conclusion that most people got this morning from the ruling in the trial against la manada or the wolf pack.
   If you are a woman and five ‘wolves’ intimidate you and want to rape you have to face them tooth and nail if not ...
   What society are we building where a group of individuals communicate via social networks the preparations for the great hunt? Purchase of drugs to stun the victim and live broadcast of a savage of five horndogs that are not willing to stop an activity that has taken them a thousand kilometres -for other nearby towns have gone before- to a party where everything must be allowed.
   Leaving aside whether the sentence is proportional or not, personally what terrifies me is that, on the one hand, honesty was being judged (even the convicts hired a detective who followed the girl to use her behaviour after the facts against her) and, on the other hand, the frivolity and lightness with which today online crimes are propagated that should hide the aggressors and embarrass us if we see it on our phones.
   Knowing that there have been three magistrates (two men and one woman) who have issued the verdict, I think maybe the female judge suffered something similar to the girl they introduced in a vestibule and that the two colleagues intimidated her to such an extent that only saw sexual abuse and no other crime so that the sentence was softer.
   Pity of justice, pity of education.
